Solved by pluggable solver: Graphing Linear Equations
In order to graph \"y=-1%2Ax%2B4\" we only need to plug in two points to draw the line
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " So lets plug in some points
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " Plug in x=-5
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \"y=-1%2A%28-5%29%2B4\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \"y=5%2B4\" Multiply
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \"y=9\" Add
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " So here's one point (-5,9)
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " Now lets find another point
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " Plug in x=-4
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \"y=-1%2A%28-4%29%2B4\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \"y=4%2B4\" Multiply
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \"y=8\" Add
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " So here's another point (-4,8). Add this to our graph
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " Now draw a line through these points
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " So this is the graph of \"y=-1%2Ax%2B4\" through the points (-5,9) and (-4,8)
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " So from the graph we can see that the slope is \"-1%2F1\" (which tells us that in order to go from point to point we have to start at one point and go down -1 units and to the right 1 units to get to the next point), the y-intercept is (0,\"4\")and the x-intercept is (\"4\",0)
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " We could graph this equation another way. Since \"b=4\" this tells us that the y-intercept (the point where the graph intersects with the y-axis) is (0,\"4\").
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " So we have one point (0,\"4\")
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " Now since the slope is \"-1%2F1\", this means that in order to go from point to point we can use the slope to do so. So starting at (0,\"4\"), we can go down 1 units
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " and to the right 1 units to get to our next point
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " Now draw a line through those points to graph \"y=-1%2Ax%2B4\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " So this is the graph of \"y=-1%2Ax%2B4\" through the points (0,4) and (1,3)
\n" ); document.write( "
