Graph the line with slope 2 passing through the point (-4, -1).
Understand the Problem
The question asks us to graph a line on a coordinate plane. We are given the slope of the line, which is 2, and a point that the line passes through, which is (-4, -1). We will need to use this information to accurately draw the line on the graph.

Steps to Solve
- Plot the given point
Plot the point $(-4, -1)$ on the coordinate plane. This is our starting point
- Use the slope to find another point
The slope is 2, which can be written as $\frac{2}{1}$. This means for every 1 unit we move to the right (run), we move 2 units up (rise). From the point $(-4, -1)$, move 1 unit to the right and 2 units up. This gives us the point $(-3, 1)$.
- Draw the line
Draw a straight line through the two points $(-4, -1)$ and $(-3, 1)$. Extend the line to cover the coordinate plane.
