Question

Write the function in slope intercept form. Then graph the function.
-y = -8x
(NO IDEA WHAT I'M DOING!! Please help!)

Answer 1

multiply both sides by -1

Answer 2

-y=8x ?

Answer 3

no, you've only multiplied right side you have to multiply left side too

Answer 4

How?

Answer 5

\[-y=-8x/*(-1)\]
\[-y*(-1)=-8x*(-1)\]

Answer 6

in other words you have to find y, that's why we multiply both sides by -1

Answer 7

so what result you have?

Answer 8

It's y=8x right?

Answer 9

I guess.. This is confusing

Answer 10

now you have to graph this function y=8x.
You take some two randomly chosen x's (for example x=0 and x=1) What values of y's will you have?(just substitute x's to equation)

Answer 11

for x =0 you get y=8*0=0. You have your first point (0,0)
then for x=1 you get 8*1=8. You have your second point (1,8)
