SOLUTION: I have have to plot the following, y=100 -6x, I have to find the slope, the y intercept and x intercept. I am using the y=mx+b slope intercept method. so I know my y intercept is

Question 48253: I have have to plot the following, y=100 -6x, I have to find the slope, the y intercept and x intercept. I am using the y=mx+b slope intercept method. so I know my y intercept is 100 and my slope is -6 over 1. My question is when i graph this - what scale should i use on the y axis so i don't have to use 1:1 ratio and then also am i required to use the same scale on the x axis? (and if my answers above aren't accurate please correct me!)
thanks
Answer by checkley71(8403) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Y=-6X+100 OR YES THE Y INTERCEPT IS 100 & THE SLOPE IS -6 & THE X INTERCEPT IS
16 2/3. YOU CAN USE ANY SCALE FOR THE X & Y AXIS . BUT TO VALIDATE THE SLOPE THE SCALE SHOULD BE THE SAME.
