Question

Y = -4x

Answer 1

So what is -4 Yovovel? Think back to y=mx+b

Answer 2

-4 is slope

Answer 3

is it the fourth graph?

Answer 4

No, it's not. It's the 3rd.

Answer 5

4th graph?

Answer 6

how is it the third?

Answer 7

You can think of slope as "rise over run" in terms of being a fraction. So,

-4/1 means rise -4 and run to the right 1 block. So if you look at the third graph you'll notice you're rising -4 (which means falling 4) and going over 1. Then you repeat that over and over to make a line.

Answer 8

so everytime i have an equation like that, i place a one under it?

Answer 9

Yep, because technically all numbers are fractions over 1.
