Question 24039
It's a nice idea to multiply or divide both sides of the equation by -1"

y = x -1


So now it is in slope-intercept form, and you can tell by looking at this equation that the y intercept is -1, and the slope is 1, which is {{{(rise)/(run) = 1/1}}}.


Graph the y intercept by going DOWN 1 on the y axis and put a point there.  With your pencil on this point, measure off the slope, which means to go UP 1 and then RIGHT 1, and put a second point.  Connect the dots, and it should look like this:


{{{graph (400,400, -6,6,-6,6, x-1)}}}
