Graph the following line: y=-x

myininaya (myininaya):

\

myininaya (myininaya):

if you want you can use random ordered pairs to graph the line

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nice graph!

myininaya (myininaya):

(x,-x) <- make sure they have this form

myininaya (myininaya):

lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\huge \setminus\]

myininaya (myininaya):

this is a line so if you get a crazy curve then you know you did something wrong very good polpak your graph is bigger

myininaya (myininaya):

what me and polpak are showing is that this graph has a negative slope since the negative in front of the x

myininaya (myininaya):

if we had y=x then the graph would look like /

\[\huge /\]

myininaya (myininaya):

some ordered pairs on this line are (x,-x) (-5,5) (-4,4) (-1/2,1/2) (0,0) (1,-1) (2,-2) (7/3,-7/3) (8,-8)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what are the coordinates for the two points

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There are many points on this line.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Pick any x. The y=-x. So plot the point (x,-x) for whatever x you pick. All the possible pairs will form a line.

Thanks guys
