How do you graph this? y=-x-4 & y=-5x

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

Well, can you find two points that lie on your first line?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-4

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

So a point, must be in the form (x,y) in order to be a point @Sara_adalla , what x value did you use to get -4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i just have to graph it not do that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1414111620594:dw| This is the first equation.

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

In order to graph something, you must have at least 2 points, otherwise, you are unable to graph a line

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The y-int for the first one is +4. You've -x, so the slope is negative 1. Therefore, the x-int will be 4.

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

so again, can you find two points please @Sara_adalla

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4,0 and 0,4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How would i graph y=-5x?

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

y=-x-4 if x=4, we have -4-4=-8, that does not equal zero, you need to check your points

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

0,4 is not a point either

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is 😐

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

any two will do, but they must be accturate

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

-x-4=y if x=0 then you have -0-4=0-4=-4 That does not equal 4.

pip_pip your really good help Thank you, and also for the others
