Question

how to graph y+8=1/4(x-2)?

Answer 1

well there are 2 ways.

it is currently in standard form.

you could convert that to slope-intercept form, OR you could just plot it right away.

looking at the formula for standard form, we know that this line contains the point
(2, -8)
and has a slope of 1/4

Answer 2

isn't -2 * 1/4 -8 the y-intercept????

Answer 3

correct, it is not necessary to find the y-intercept to graph it though

Answer 4

really I thought that is what first point is then go up one and right 4 since it is positive?
