y=x-7 in coordinate plane

Question

y=x-7 in coordinate plane

Answer 1

Hi Tina,

I am assuming the question is asking you to graph this equation.  Since it's in slope-intercept form, we know that the y-intercept is the point (0, - 7) and the slope is 1.  Place the first point at (0, - 7); from this point move up 1 and move 1 to the right (the second point will be (1, - 6)); from this 2nd point, move up 1 and move one to the right (the 3rd point will be (2, - 5)).  Draw a straight line through these points.
