Question

How do you graph the linear equation `y= -x -8`?

Answer 1

`"see explanation"`

Explanation:

`"one way is to find the intercepts. That is where the line"`
`"crosses the x and y axes"`

`• " let x = 0, in the equation for y-intercept"`

`• " let y = 0, in the equation for x-intercept"`

`x=0toy=0-8=-8larrcolor(red)" y-intercept"`

`y=0to-x-8=0tox=8larrcolor(red)" x-intercept"`

`"plot the 2 points and draw a straight line through them"`
