Question

I need to sketch a graph for each line. y = 4x-5 How would I solve and graph this

Answer 1

So you need to find the slope and the y- intercept. So, the slope is always the coefficient on the x. In this case it is 4. The y-intercept is the other number. In this case it is -5. So the slope is 4 and the y-intercept is -5. On your graph (the y axis) find -5. Then you go up 4 and to the right 1 because of four were a fraction it would be 4/1. Keep going up four and right one a couple times. Then reverse it. Go down 4 left 1. That as a fraction would look like -4/-1. Then connect your points and make it a line!
