Answer: y = -4x

Step-by-step explanation: You would use the formula y = mx + b to solve your problem. When you plug the numbers in, you get y = -4x. There would be no "+ b" because in this case, the y-intercept (b) is equal to zero. Therefore, you would not need to write "y = -4x + 0" because that would not be the equation in its simplest form.

Answer:

So it gives you a little picture and tells you what would the question be if you had this graph.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer would be B, find the area because the 4x + 3 is your length and 3x is your length, A = length * width. So the answer is B, find the area.

When y=-2, what kind of line does it have horizontal or vertical

Rashid [163]

Answer: Horizontal

Step-by-step explanation: The equation <em>y = -2</em> can be thought of as y = 0x - 2. So our line has a slope of 0 and a y-intercept of -2.

To graph it, we start with the y-intercept, down 2 units on the y-axis. Now, if the slope of a line is 0, then the line must be flat or horizontal.

So we just draw a horizontal line through the y-intercept of -2.

In fact, when the equation of any line reads y = a number, it's graph will always be a horizontal line. For example, y = 3, y = -10, y = -8 and so on.
