Question

Graph the equation on the coordinate plane. y=−5/8x+4 Select two points on the line to graph the line.

Answer 1

The graph is below

To find a point on the line, put in 0 for x and solve for y.

y=-(5/8)(0)+4

y=4

So if x=0, then y=4, point (0,4)

To find a second point, put in 8 for x and solve for y.

y=-(5/8)(8)+4

y=-5+4

y=-1

So if x=8, then y=-1, point (8,-1)

(0,4) and (8,-1)

Find these two points then draw a straight line between them.
