Question 846434: Using point by point plotting to sketch the graph of each function......I don't know how this is done for F(x)=1-X

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You can Replace F(x) with y. F(x)=y
F(x)=1-X
y=1-x
Rearrange 1-x=-x+1
y=-x+1
y intercept is +1
plot it
===================
slope is -1 because "-x"
slope means rise/run. You have to turn -1 into fraction.
You can simple write 1 underneath any number. Ex. 5=5/1, 9=9/1, 167=167/1.
In your case,
-1=-1/1
===============
slope is -1/1
rise is -1 (go down 1)
run is 1 (go right 1)
=======================
btw -1/1=1/-1
slope is 1/-1
rise is 1 (go up 1)
run is -1 (go left 1)
