Question

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

Answer 1

Determine two points on the line. Plot the points and draw a straight line through the points.

Explanation:

`y=-3x+4` is in the slope-intercept form for a linear equation: `y=mx+b`, where `m` is the slope, and `b` is the y-intercept.

Point 1:
If `x=0;`
`y=-3*0+4=0+4=4`

Point 1`=` `(0,4)`

Point 2:
`x=2;`
`y=-3*2+4=-6+4=-2`

Point 2:
`(2,-2)`
