The question was to graph a line from the equation "y = -5/4x + 7". I solved for the x and y intercept, and graphed the line. However, it did not accept it when I put a point at (5.6,0), as it expected me to put a point at (2,4), which I would have done if I used the slope to graph the line, instead of the x intercept. Both answers are correct, but it only accepted the line based on the points, not the line itself.
