Question

Which graph shows y= (-5x) -4?

Answer 1

Graph A

Explanation

I look at the y-intercept first, and the y-intercept is -4, so looking at each graph you can see both A and D have y-intercepts of -4, since the line intercepts, or goes through the y-axis (the vertical line of the graph) at -4.

Then, you look at the variable that's changing, which is -5x. Since it's a negative, A is the graph that is negatively decreasing, because of its position on the graph. The line is going down, starting in the negative side.
