Question

For the equation, y= -x - 4, tell whether it’s graph passes through the first quadrant. Explain how you know.

A.) No; for x<0 the y-values are negative.

B.) Yes; for x>0 some y-values are positive.

C.) No; for x>0 the y-values are negative.

D.) Yes; for x<0 some y-values are positive.

Answer 1

The graph of the equation y = -x - 4 does not pass through the first quadrant because for x < 0, the y-values are negative.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is y = -x - 4. To determine whether its graph passes through the first quadrant, we need to assess the values for x and y. In the first quadrant, both x and y values are positive.

If we substitute any positive value for x into the equation, we will obtain a negative value for y. Therefore, the graph does not pass through the first quadrant. Hence, the correct answer is option A.
