Question 262270: Graph the equation and identify the y intercept
y+x=-10
I came up with
y=-1x-10
so the slope is -1 and the y intercept is -10?
Just needing to make sure this is correct and not sure how to graph it.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
so far so good.
to graph it
find two points.
you have one (0,-10)
you have the slope of -1
the slope tells us that for every increase of y x decreases 1
also that for every decrease of y x increases 1
increase x decrease y
(1,-11)
decrease x increase y
(-1,-9)
so have three points
another easy on eis y=0
0=-x-10
add x
x=-10
(-10,0)
so plot those points
and connect with a line them.
