Question

Y=5/2x -4 how to graph it

Answer 1

Looking at y=-%285%2F2%29x we can see that the equation is in slope-intercept form y=mx%2Bb where the slope is m=-5%2F2 and the y-intercept is b=0 note: y=-%285%2F2%29x really looks like y=-%285%2F2%29x%2B0

Since b=0 this tells us that the y-intercept is .Remember the y-intercept is the point where the graph intersects with the y-axis

So we have one point  

Now since the slope is comprised of the "rise" over the "run" this means

slope=rise%2Frun

Also, because the slope is -5%2F2, this means:

rise%2Frun=-5%2F2

which shows us that the rise is -5 and the run is 2. This means that to go from point to point, we can go down 5 and over 2

So starting at , go down 5 units

and to the right 2 units to get to the next point  

Now draw a line through these points to graph y=-%285%2F2%29x

So this is the graph of y=-%285%2F2%29x through the points
