Graphing Question

Question

How would I graph y = −6x

Answer 1

That is the graph of a line, so all you need is plot two points then connect them.

Determine y when x = 0 and when x = 1 and that will give you two sets of x,y coordinates to plot.

Answer 2

y = mx + b is the graphing equation, where m is the slope in the form (change of y)/(change of x)

and b is the y-intercept.

for y = 6x the slope is 6/1 and the y-intercept is 0, so start at (0, 0) and go up 6 and right 1, mark that point and connect with and through (0,0)
