y=-4x+4 True or False? http://aplus.yumaed.org/R85Content/media/pictures/alg11_nbg/axis561.gif

OpenStudy (paxpolaris):

what do you say?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

False?

OpenStudy (paxpolaris):

why?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because the graph is going downward. Right?

OpenStudy (paxpolaris):

\[\Large y=mx+b\] m is the slope b is the y-intercept

OpenStudy (paxpolaris):

m is negative ... then the graph MUST go downward

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait.. so it's true?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No no, false?

OpenStudy (paxpolaris):

y goes down by 4, as x goes up by 1 so, m=-4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright, so that means false because m isn't -4 on the graph.

OpenStudy (paxpolaris):

the graph meet y-axis at y=+4 so, b=+4 s, y=-4x+4 true

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohh! Wow, I'm so slow. Well, thanks. :)
