it depends on what type of form you want it in, if its standard form you want it in y=mx+b
OpenStudy (cwrw238):
it is easier to draw the graph in standard form
OpenStudy (anonymous):
can u show me how to get it to standard form? lik step me through it?
OpenStudy (cwrw238):
in standard form you immediately know the slope and the y intercept

i have to go - i'm sure assassin can do a good answer for you

thanks for the help u did give!!

-x -4y>3 the idea is to get y by itself
-4y>x+3 add x to each side
y<x/-4 + 3/-4 divide -4 from each side and since its a negative you flip the sign
y< - 1/4 x - 3/4 simplify

so in reality it was not in the correct form for graphing?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
not exactly, when graphing you always want your equation in standard form which is y=mx+b where m=slope and b=y-intercept

ok thanks!!
