Question

Graph the line y=−6x.

Answer 1

Greetings!

We have to create a chart of values in order to graph this line and find at least two possible solutions:
Assume
`x=-1`

Solve for y.

`y=-6(-1)`

Multiply.

`y=6`

(x=-1, y=6)

Assume
`x=1`

Solve for y.

`y=-6(1)`

Multiply.

`y=-6`

(x=1, y=-6)

Now you can plot these coordinate points. Connect them with a ruler and you graphed this equation! Don't forget to add arrows at the end of the line!

Hope this helps.
