The equations give you information as to where to plot points.
For y = -x + 1, you know the slope is -1, and the line intersects the y-axis at (0, 1). The y-axis is the vertical line; to plot (0, 1), find 1 on the vertical line and mark it. Now, the slope is -1; that means the line will slope downwards. To plot more points, count 1 unit down from (0, 1) and 1 unit to the right. You should end up at (1, 0).Connect those and you have a line.
For y = -2x + 4, the slope is -2 (so it will also slope downwards), and the y-intercept is 4. Find (0, 4) and plot it. The -2 tells you to count 2 units down (instead of 1 like we did for the last equation) and 1 over. That is the second line.
I hope this helps.
Answer:
not a function - it does not pass the vertical line test.
Step-by-step explanation:
To change 1/2 to 3/4 you multiply by 3/2 so then multiply 3/4 by 3/2 and you get 6/6 or 1...the answer is 1
Changing the 30 to 10 is a 20 unit drop ( 30-10=20)
so the line would shift vertically down by 20
<span>The line will shift vertically down by $20.</span>
