Question

Graph the line y+5x=4

Answer 1

Any ideas?

Answer 2

I think its y=-5x+4
So I could do (0,4) and (not sure for the second point

Answer 3

Very good.

Use the idea of "slope" to get a second point.

Answer 4

so (-5/1,0)?

Answer 5

If its rise over run why would we move the number down? That's not really rising lol if that makes sense

Answer 6

Yes, that does make perfectly good sense if the number was positive.

Answer 7

That's what I thought it was

Answer 8

In your diagram the "run" is towards the left which is also negative.

Answer 9

Hmm. I'm lost

Answer 10

What happens to the 4 then when it is y=-5/1x+4
Where are my points?

Answer 11

The 4 stays fixed on the y-axis, because it is the y-intercept.
