Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
y = -4/3x + 1
in y = mx + b form, the number in the b is the y intercept...so ur y intercept is
(0,1).....this is where ur line crosses the y axis
to find ur x axis, sub in 0 for y and solve for x
y = -4/3x + 1
0 = -4/3x + 1
4/3x = 1
x = 1 / (4/3)
x = 1 * 3/4
x = 3/4........and ur x intercept is (3/4,0)...this is where ur line crosses the x axis.
in y = mx + b form, the letter m represents ur slope....so ur slope is
-4/3.....that negative means ur line is descending.....so when we graph, we will start at the y int.
go ahead and plot ur intercepts.......(0,1) and (3/4,0)....now look at ur slope -4/3.....the numerator (either go up or down)....the denominator (go right)
if the numerator is negative....go down....if it was positive u would go up.
so start at (0,1).....slope is -4/3.....so go down 4 and to the right 3...plot that point......then go down 4 and to the right 3...plot that...ur gonna keep on going down 4 and to the right 3 as far as u need to...connect ur points and u have ur line
if it helps, ur line will be going through points (3,-3), (6,-7),(-3,5), (-6,9).....those are some whole number points.....its kinda hard to graph when ur intercepts dont fall on whole numbers
