Question

How do you graph `y=-2x+10`?

Answer 1

The basis for this equation is `y=mx+b`, where `m` is the slope and `b` is the `y`-intercept.

So, `y=-2x+10` tells us that the slope is `-2/1` or down `2` units, over `1` unit, and that the `y`-intercept is `10`.

So, we start at `(0,10)`. If we go down `2` and over `1`, we subtract `2` from `10` and add `1` to `0`

Our new coordinate pair is `(1, 8)`. If we keep going we can make a line, but you should have enough information to make graph
