Question

How do you graph `y=-x-4` using a table?

Answer 1

See the explanation.

Explanation:

`y=-x-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. In the given equation, `m=-1` and `b=-4`.

To make a table to graph, give various values to `x` and solve for `y`.

Ordered Pairs
`xcolor(white)(........)y`
`4color(white)(....)-8`
`2color(white)(....)-6`
`0color(white)(....)-4`
`-2color(white)(.)-2`
`-4color(white)(.....)0`

Plot each ordered pair and draw a straight line through the points.
