You can put this solution on YOUR website! First of all, here is the graph:
The equation is in the slope-intercept
form, which is the best form for graphing.
------------------------------------
The tells you that the slope is negative,
which means the line slopes from upper left
to lower right.
-----------------
To find points on the line, pick a number for
and find out what is
I'll say
This gives you the point ( 0,4 ), which
you can see on the graph
---------------------
I can pick a number for and find also
I'll say
So, you have the point ( 4/5,0 ). You can see this point on the line, too
( by estimating ).
Hope this helps
You can put this solution on YOUR website! y=-5x+4
Y=mX+b WHERE m=SLOPE & b=THE Y INTERCEPT.
SETTING Y=0 YOU HAVE THE X INTERCEPT.
0=-5X+4
5X=4
X=4/5
X=0.8 ANS.
NOW DRAW A LINE THROUGH THESE 2 POINTS:
X=0.8 & Y=4.
