Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Equation Formulation
Given a point $(2, -3)$ and slope $1.2$, use the point-slope form $y + 3 = 1.2(x - 2)$ to find the equation of the line.
Step 2: Simplification
Simplify to slope-intercept form: $y = 1.2x - 5.4$.
Step 3: Graphing
Plot the point $(2, -3)$ on the graph. Use the slope $1.2$ to find another point on the line.
From $(2, -3)$, move vertically and horizontally according to the slope $1.2$ to find a second point, and draw a line through these points.
Final Answer:
The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is $y = 1.2x - 5.4$, which can be graphed on the Cartesian plane.
