Which is the graph of y = −0.4x?

OpenStudy (perl):

@shinalcantara

OpenStudy (shinalcantara):

O_O it's raining link

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:O

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but can you help me?

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

you didnt understand?

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

first of all u can observe that the slope is negetive right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya I guess so

OpenStudy (shinalcantara):

to find the graph, all you have to do is plug in values to x and find the corresponding ordinate to the plane

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

so the graph will look like this|dw:1414768003644:dw|

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

now u have to determine the co-orninates

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the graph looks like answer D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

o wait no C actually

OpenStudy (shinalcantara):

say for x=10 y = -0.4x y = -0.4(10) y = -4 when x=0 y =-0.4(0) y = 0 plotting you'll have: |dw:1414768063995:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So C?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

...

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

yes thats the concept but none of the options look right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok well thanks to you both.... who should I give the medal to?
