Question

To graph the equation y = -1/2x - 4 using the slope and y-intercept, you would have to do which of the following?

Graph the y-intercept, 4. From that point, move down 1 and to the right 2 to plot another point. Then draw a line that passes through both points.

Graph the y-intercept, -4. From that point, move up 1 and to the right 2 to plot another point. Then draw a line that passes through both points.

Answer 1

* Graph the y-intercept, 4. From that point, move up 1 and to the right 2 to plot another point. Then draw a line that passes through both points.

Answer 2

Graph the y-intercept, -4. From that point, move down 1 and to the right 2 to plot another point. Then draw a line that passes through both points.

The equation means that the starting point -- the point where the line crosses the y-axis -- is (0, -4) and so it gets a point there. The slope -1/2 means you go down 1 and to the right 2 because the right side of the graph is the positive side.
