Question

How do you graph `y=-x-7`?

Answer 1

Start at the point ( 0, -7) and draw a line through (1,-8) and (2,-9)

Explanation:

The formula for a linear equation is `y=mx+b`
`m` is the slope of the line, the rise over the run
`b` is the `y` intercept, the place where the line crosses the y-axis

So the `y`-intercept is (0,-7) and the slope is -1 / 1
