Documenting Fiber-Optic Layout with the Point-and-Slope Method

As a field technician at NetLink Solutions, you are responsible for documenting cable paths on a digital map grid. You need to map a new fiber-optic cable line that passes through a main distribution hub located at the coordinates (2,2)(2, -2) with a constant slope of 43\frac{4}{3}.

To comply with municipal infrastructure filing requirements, write a short report detailing the point-and-slope procedure you must follow to graph this line. In your response, clearly specify:

  1. The initial point to be plotted and its coordinates on the grid.
  2. The values of the 'rise' and 'run' derived from the given slope.
  3. The step-by-step vertical and horizontal counts starting from the initial point, and the resulting coordinates of the second plotted point.
  4. How the line representing the cable path is completed on the grid map.
