Drafting a Line Using Point and Slope
A junior drafter at a civil engineering firm needs to sketch a straight-line utility path on a coordinate grid. The path must pass through an initial reference point at and follow a slope of . According to the standard point-and-slope procedure, recall and describe the first two steps the drafter must take to begin graphing this line.
