Question 696529: How do I graph y=-5x




Answer by algebrahouse.com(1659)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y = -5x

Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b
m is the slope
b is the y-intercept

y = -5x + 0 {put a 0 in, to show the y-intercept}

To graph:
- put a point on 0 on the y-axis, that is the y-intercept
- from there, move down 5 and to the right 1 and put another point, since the slope is -5/1
- draw a line through the two points
