Question 121252
Is it {{{y=-(1/3)x + 4}}} ?




Looking at {{{y=-(1/3)x+4}}} we can see that the equation is in slope-intercept form {{{y=mx+b}}} where the slope is {{{m=-1/3}}} and the y-intercept is {{{b=4}}} 



Since {{{b=4}}} this tells us that the y-intercept is *[Tex \LARGE \left(0,4\right)].Remember the y-intercept is the point where the graph intersects with the y-axis


So we have one point *[Tex \LARGE \left(0,4\right)]


{{{drawing(500,500,-10,10,-10,10,
  grid(1),
  blue(circle(0,4,.1)),
  blue(circle(0,4,.12)),
  blue(circle(0,4,.15))
)}}}



Now since the slope is comprised of the "rise" over the "run" this means

{{{slope=rise/run}}}


Also, because the slope is {{{-1/3}}}, this means:


{{{rise/run=-1/3}}}



which shows us that the rise is -1 and the run is 3. This means that to go from point to point, we can go down 1  and over 3




So starting at *[Tex \LARGE \left(0,4\right)], go down 1 unit 

{{{drawing(500,500,-10,10,-10,10,
  grid(1),
  blue(circle(0,4,.1)),
  blue(circle(0,4,.12)),
  blue(circle(0,4,.15)),
  blue(arc(0,4+(-1/2),2,-1,90,270))
)}}}


and to the right 3 units to get to the next point *[Tex \LARGE \left(3,3\right)]

{{{drawing(500,500,-10,10,-10,10,
  grid(1),
  blue(circle(0,4,.1)),
  blue(circle(0,4,.12)),
  blue(circle(0,4,.15)),
  blue(circle(3,3,.15,1.5)),
  blue(circle(3,3,.1,1.5)),
  blue(arc(0,4+(-1/2),2,-1,90,270)),
  blue(arc((3/2),3,3,2, 0,180))
)}}}



Now draw a line through these points to graph {{{y=-(1/3)x+4}}}


{{{drawing(500,500,-10,10,-10,10,
  grid(1),
  graph(500,500,-10,10,-10,10,-(1/3)x+4),
  blue(circle(0,4,.1)),
  blue(circle(0,4,.12)),
  blue(circle(0,4,.15)),
  blue(circle(3,3,.15,1.5)),
  blue(circle(3,3,.1,1.5)),
  blue(arc(0,4+(-1/2),2,-1,90,270)),
  blue(arc((3/2),3,3,2, 0,180))
)}}} So this is the graph of {{{y=-(1/3)x+4}}} through the points *[Tex \LARGE \left(0,4\right)] and *[Tex \LARGE \left(3,3\right)]
