Question

Help meeeeee, i don’t understand

Answer 1

To graph the equation, you need to find the slope and y-intercept.

y = mx + b

⬑[slope-intercept formula; m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept]

y = 4x + −1

⬑[given equation before being simplified]

y = 4x − 1

⬑[given equation]

║m = 4

║b = (0, −1)

Proof:

m =
`(rise)/(run)` =
`(y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)`

x₁ = 0

x₂ = 1

y₁ = −1

y₂ = 3

m =
`(3 - -1)/(1 - 0)`

║m = 4

║b = (0, −1)

[the value for x₁ and y₁ equals the y-intercept: (0, −1)]
