Question

Using complete sentences, explain how to graph y = -1/4x + 8 using the slope-intercept method.

Answer 1

\( \color{Black}{\begin{array} x x &y \\ 1 & ? \\ 2 &? \\ 3&? \end{array}}\)

Make a table of values. Then mark the values on the graph, and draw a straight line though that.

Answer 2

Another way:
y intercept is 8(y = mx + b and b is the y intercept), and we know that when x is 0, then y is 8.

Answer 3

As slope is -1/4, everytime we increase -1 in y, x will increase by 4. Find the different values.

Answer 4

But how do explain this to a teacher with the current expression?

Answer 5

Thats what I want to know.

Answer 6

I just did :)

Answer 7

y intercept is 8(y = mx + b and b is the y intercept), and we know that when x is 0, then y is 8.

Answer 8

so thats the answer?
