Question #ba724

Answer 1

graph{y=-8x-1 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}
slope of `-8/1`
y-int`= (0,-1`)

Explanation:

`-1` is the intercept on the y axis, which the line passes through.
`-8` is the slope of the line.

In this case, since `m =-8=-8/1`,

from `(0,-1)` you must move down `8` units and then go right `1` unit to give a negative slope.

The the rule of slope is `"rise"/" run"` or `"change in y"/"change in x"`.
