Question

How do you graph `y=-3^2-4x` ?

Answer 1

`y` is a straight line with slope `-4` and y-intercept of `-9`

Explanation:

NB: The question is ambigious as it is not clear whether `y=-(3^2)-4x` or `y=(-3)^2-4x`.
I will assume the first case as the second would not require the negative sign.

Thus `y =-9-4x`

The equation of a straight line in slope `(m)` and intercept `(c)` form is `y=mx+c`

Hence, in this example, `y` is a straight line with slope `-4` and y-intercept of `-9`

As can be seen on the graph of `y` below.
