Question 464247: graph the linear equation: -4x + y = 0

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b
m is the slope {rise over run}
b is the y-intercept {where the line crosses the y-axis}

-4x + y = 0
y = 4x {added 4x to both sides}
slope is 4 {or 4/1 in terms of "rise over run"}
y-intercept is 0 {where it crosses the y-axis}

To graph:
- put a point on 0 on the y-axis
- from there, go up 4 and to the right 1}
- draw a line through the two points
