Identify the slope and y intercept. Then, graph the linear equation.

y = − 53 x + 4
Begin with b. b=

Move with m.m=

1 answer

The y-intercept, b, in the equation y = -53x + 4 is 4.

The slope, m, in the equation y = -53x + 4 is -53.

To graph the linear equation, plot the y-intercept (0,4) and then use the slope to find additional points to plot. Starting from the y-intercept, move down 53 units on the y-axis and 1 unit to the right on the x-axis to find another point. Continue this pattern to find more points and then connect them to form a straight line.
