Question

f(x)= -4x+2

Answer 1

what's the question?

Answer 2

Sketch a graph of y=f(x)

Answer 3

that function is a line....
find two points on the line y=-4x+2 and connect them...

Answer 4

I know that but I forogt how to solve them

Answer 5

solve what?

Answer 6

Oh okay so how would I find ordered pairs for both numbers?

Answer 7

so then would it look like this f(x)= -4(-3)+2?

Answer 8

ok, thank you

Answer 9

So if I get answer what, how would it look like for instance, -4(-3)+2=14 what would be the ordered pair? (?,14)

Answer 10

Oh okay, now I understand, thank you again

Answer 11

Okay once I figure out all the functions, how do I find out which one to graph? or do I graph all of them?

Answer 12

There is only one function f.

Answer 13

Okay, how would I graph this?

Answer 14

f(x)= -4x+2 this form of equation is called the y-intercept form, also more generally written as y=mx+b

Answer 15

Right I know about the y=mx+b but I forgot how to solve it

Answer 16

Recall m is the slope and b is the y-intercept, that is the point where the line crosses the y axis at 0,2 for y=-4x+2

Answer 17

Right, so then the next one would be (4,4)?

Answer 18

start at (0,2) make a dot, go down 4 and to the right 1 and make another dot. Rice and repeat.

Answer 19

rinse*

Answer 20

That was kind of rude nincompoop

Answer 21

f(x)= -4x+2 the value of m is -4 and that will give you another point on the line for your graph.

Answer 22

would it look like the graph I drew?

Answer 23

Oh okay, I tend to get really confused on these ones

Answer 24

Do you understand the definition of m?

Answer 25

Now I understand the lines, wow nincompoop you have really made me understand a lot more, Thank you. Now I have another question I'm going to submit

Answer 26

Okay, I will keep that in mind.
