Question

Describe briefly how you would check that the rule is horizontal in this experiment. You  may draw a diagram.​

Answer 1

Answer:

We want to describe how to graph a linear equation.

Explanation:

The given equation is:

y = -4x - 1

a) To graph it, we need to find two points that belong to the line, then we graph the points, and then we connect them with a line.

To get the points, we just need to evaluate the function in two different values of x.

for x = 0

y = -4*0 - 1 = -1

So we have the point (0, -1)

for x = 1

y = -4*1 - 1 = -5

So we have the point (1, - 5)

Now we just need to find these two points and connect them with a line, the graph can be seen below.

b) To check if the graph is correct we can see two things:

in y = -4*x - 1

The y-intercept is -1, this means that the graph should intersect the y-axis at  y = -1

The slope is -4, this means that for each unit increase on x, we should see that the y-value decreases by 4.

Checking those two things we can see if our graph is correct or not.
