What do you think tell me first..

anonymous · Answer

Any reason?? Or just guessing??

anonymous · Answer

im not guessin

anonymous · Answer

See can you tell me what is x intercept here??

anonymous · Answer

Just put y = 0 as you did earlier...

anonymous · Answer

probably would not graph the x-intercept. The most logically thing to do would be to graph the y-intercept and then count down 1 (I'm going down 1 because of the negative sign) and go right 4. Another way to do it would be to create a "T" table, where you plug in values for x and evaluate y using -1/4x + 8. I prefer this method and I will use a minimum of three x values to plug in to make sure I am not making a mistake. Some other things to consider - whenever you have a NEGATIVE slope, the graph should be going down to the right, and a POSITIVE slope should be going up to the right.

I think you know more than me but you have not faith on yourself..

Yes you are right again..

lol so wat should i choose

anonymous · Answer

b
righ

anonymous · Answer

A is the option for x intercept ?? Is it??

anonymous · Answer

yea

anonymous · Answer

So what should be the option??

anonymous · Answer

I think first option ( 32,0)   Is not the step in the plotting of this line on graph

anonymous · Answer

It is asking to graph using the slope-intercept method. THis method involves obtaining the y-intercept and then following the slope. This means plot the y-intercept and then plot another point using the slope and then draw the line through it. Therefore, fo r this particular method, there is no need for an x-intercept. The fact that the form y = mx + b has y-intercept and slope, but not the x-intercept further proves the point. That being said, it is choice ?

@Diana97 make sure that from next time you type the question correctly..

y = -x + 8           Incorrect..

y = (-1/4)x + 8 is the original equation...

i guess is d
