Question 123007: It contains a graph to find the constant of a slope. I know how to find the slope but not a constant, teacher is not helpful, he describes the problem so he knows it, which is not helpful to children.
The problem shows a graphy with a blue line stretching from Q2's top left corner and reaching Q4's bottom right corner. In Q4 it shows a blue dot at
(2,-2) then another blue dot at (0,0) Then it says y= -x
I cannot seem to figure this out
