SOLUTION: My problem is Y=-2x+4. The question says, "Describe what happens to the y value as the x value increases by 1."
I was thinking that that it may be "Y= -x+4, and that the y value

Question 604030: My problem is Y=-2x+4. The question says, "Describe what happens to the y value as the x value increases by 1."
I was thinking that that it may be "Y= -x+4, and that the y value just increases by one as the same of the x value"
Please help me! Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
Pick a value for . It can be anything you like, but small integers, and zero would work nicely here, make the arithmetic easier. Calculate the value of that results from your choice of .
Repeat the process with a value of that is 1 larger than the value you chose the first time. Compare the that results the second time to the result you obtained the first time.
The coefficient on is a BIG clue as to what is going to happen.
