y=-x+4 find the slope and y intercept of the graph of equation y=-x+4 find the slope and y intercept of the graph of equation @Mathematics

OpenStudy (anonymous):

slope is -1 y-intercept is 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

CAN YOU GRAPH IT

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok...well locate the point (-1,4) and draw a line through it.

hero (hero):

You can't draw a line through one point

OpenStudy (eyust707):

hmm i dont think that graph ever passes through that point

OpenStudy (eyust707):

you must use those two bits of information seprately to graph that line

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ehh i thought that if you draw the line through the points of the x and y intercept that its wrong

OpenStudy (eyust707):

diamond if you have a line with a y-int of 4 that means the line passes through the y axis at 4

OpenStudy (eyust707):

slope= rise/run

OpenStudy (eyust707):

so since slope is -1/1 that line goes down one, over one.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok nd the slpoe would be negative then
