Algebra.Com's Answer #410572 by Alan3354(69443)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! I need help graphing the slope. Its says graph the line described. Through (0,4); m= -1/2 \n" ); document.write( "------------------- \n" ); document.write( "You don't graph a slope. You graph equations. \n" ); document.write( "----------- \n" ); document.write( "You can graph the equation that has a y-intercept of (0,4) and a slope of -1/2 \n" ); document.write( "---------- \n" ); document.write( "One way to do it: \n" ); document.write( "Plot the y-int (0,4) \n" ); document.write( "The graph's y value decreases 1 for each increase of 2 in the x direction. \n" ); document.write( "That makes other points (2,3), (4,2), etc. \n" ); document.write( "Plot at least 2 points, draw a line thru them. \n" ); document.write( "----------------- \n" ); document.write( "Another way: \n" ); document.write( "Use the equation to find points. \n" ); document.write( "(0,4); m= -1/2 --> y = (-1/2)x + 4 \n" ); document.write( "Pick values of x and find y. \n" ); document.write( "Plot the points \n" ); document.write( "Draw a line thru them \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
