Question 17648
Please see my recent Lesson Plan on Graphing and Slope of the Line for more details and examples.  In this equation, the y intercept is 1, and the slope is -4 or -4/1, which means a rise of -4 and a run of 1.


To graph this start by graphing the y-intercept by going 1 unit up on the y-axis, and put the first point here.  Next, with your pencil on this point on the y-axis, move DOWN 4, then go over 1 unit to the right, and put the next point.  Then draw a line connecting the two points.  It should look like this:

{{{graph ( 300,300,-5,5,-5,5, -4x+1) }}}
