Question

Graph the equation y=-3/4 x-3

Answer 1

when you look at an equation like this, it is in the format of a line equation.

y = mx + b <<--- where the "m" in front of the x is the slope
<<--- and the "b" at the end is where the line crosses the y-axis, or
it's "y-intercept"

Answer 2

So, draw your x and y axis, and find the place on the y-axis corresponding to that "b" term in your example, and that is one point.

Then extend the line in both directions using the slope, where slope is "rise over run".

Answer 3

so it would look like this.

Answer 4

almost...

It crosses the y axis at b = -3, not b = 3.

So it would be that same graph shifted down below the y axis... same slope, but crossing at (0, -3)

Answer 5

Ohhh! okay. thank you so much

glad to help :)
