Question

What does y=-1/2x-4

Answer 1

Hope this helps

Remember what a standard form equation is. ⇩
Y= mx+ b
Know what this means for your equation⇩
M is the slope and b is the y intercept
Apply this to your equation ⇩
-1/2 is the slope and -4 is the y intercept
How to graph it?⇩
Start by plotting your first point on your y intercept of -4. Then apply rise/run. Since your equation is negative go up 1 and to the left 2. (negative goes to the left and positive to the right) Graph is put above

Answer 2

Answer:

$y = -1/2x - 4$

From this, you can tell it's in slope-intercept form, has a slope of -1/2, and a y-intercept of -4.

I've included a picture of what this equation looks like.
