Question

Which of the following best describes the technique used to graph the equation, y = -2x + 8, using slope and y-intercept?


Mark a point at 8 on the y-axis, move upward 2 and right 1, mark the point and draw the line.

Mark a point at 8 on the y-axis, move downward 2 and right 1, mark the point and draw the line.

Mark a point at -2 on the y-axis, move downward 8 and right 1, mark the point and draw the line.

Mark a point at -2 on the y-axis, move upward 8 and right 1, mark the point and draw the line.

Answer 1

Isn't this the same question? :O

Answer 2

Do you need me to explain it again?

Answer 3

yesss:)

Answer 4

y = -2x + 8

-2 is your slope.

8 is your intercept.

Answer 5

Can you tell what the answer is from that graph?

Answer 6

What 2 answers are you immediately going to cross out? Knowing that 8 is the y intercept?

Answer 7

c and d

Answer 8

Answer 9

Good. Now, since this is a negative slope, do you move upwards or downwards?

Answer 10

upwards?

Answer 11

Upwards-positive slope

Answer 12

so its A. Mark a point at 8 on the y-axis, move upward 2 and right 1, mark the point and draw the line.

Answer 13

@dtan5457

Answer 14

It would be A if it was a positive slope or y=2x+8

However it is a negative slope, it goes DOWNWARDS.

Answer 15

so B @dtan5457 cuz it go down

Answer 16

yes

Answer 17

thank you
