HELP!!! Graph y= -1/6 x-6
Is the equation \[y = -x/6-6\] ?
its y = -1/6 x - 6
I get a straight line when I try but that isnt one of my choices
Could it be this? http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=y+%3D+-1%2F%286+x+-+6%29
My choices
To graph a line, you just need 2 points, pick any 2 values for x and solve y
(x , y) and (x1,y1)
The last picture is the answer, pretty sure.
Oh, they gave you choices... y = m*x+b b - is where it crosses the y axis m - the slope of the line
Let me see if I get the same thing
yep, the line crosses y axis at -6, and for each change in -1 unit in the y, you get 6 units in the left, for slope -1/6
I also get D!! thanks guys!!
For practice if needed, try and write the equations for the other 3 graphs
