What type of line is the graph of 4x + y = -3? vertical horizontal rising falling

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

first find the slope by converting equation as y = mx + b where m= slope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=4x-3?

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

when you move from one side to the other you need to change sign

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

so you are moving the 4x to the other side it is as follows: y = -4x - 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you graph it after finding the slope?

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

no, it is y = -4x -3 (the 4x changes to negative that is the only sign changed because is the only one that you moved from one side to the other

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

now, what is the slope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-4/1

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

correct, -4 is the slope so since it is a negative slope how is the line

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Falling?

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

correct

Thanks! :)
