Question

I am really having a hard time in graphing this equation y = -3x+4

Answer 1

solve for the y and x intercepts

Answer 2

When X is 0, then Y is 4 (y-intercept).
From there, just plug numbers in for x and graph each point.
-2 = 16
-1 = 7
0 = 4
1 = 1
2 = -2
Do you see what I am doing?

Answer 3

You can do it with any numbers you like. You can also solve for y for the x intercept. Make y = 0 and solve.
\[0=-3x+4\] Subtract 4 from each side \[-4=-3x\] Divide both sides by -3 \[\frac{ -4 }{ -3 }=\frac{ 4 }{ 3 }=x\] So 4/3 is your x intercept.

Answer 4

now that youalrady have your x and y intercepts w/c are:
x-int: (4/3, 0)
y-int: (0, 4)
