You are tasked to graph the equation y= -4x + 4

1 answer

To graph the equation y = -4x + 4, we can start by plotting the y-intercept at y = 4.

Next, we can use the slope of -4 to find another point on the line. To do this, we can use the slope formula:

slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

Let's choose x = 0 as our first point. If x = 0, then y = -4(0) + 4 = 4. This gives us the point (0, 4).

Now, from this point, we can use the slope of -4 to find another point.

If we move 1 unit to the right, we move 1 unit down according to the slope. This gives us the point (1, 0).

Plot these two points on the graph and draw a line through them.

The graph of the equation y = -4x + 4 is a straight line that decreases as x increases.
