Chapter 3 - Graphing Linear Functions - 3.5 - Graphing Linear Equations in Slope-Intercept Form - Exercises - Page 143: 41

Answer

The points are wrong. The correct points are $(0,-2)$ and (1,2). The correct graph is shown below.

Work Step by Step

The given equation is $\Rightarrow -4x+y=-2$ Add $4x$ to each side. $\Rightarrow -4x+y+4x=-2+4x$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow y=4x-2$ The slope-intercept form is $\Rightarrow y=mx+b$ $y-$ intercept is $b=-2$. Plot the $y-$ intercept $A=(0,-2)$. The slope is $m=4$. Slope $m=\frac{rise}{run}=\frac{4}{1}$ The next point is $1$ unit right and $4$ unit up from the point $(1,2)$. Plot the point $B=(1,2)$. Draw a line through the two points. Hence, the points are wrong. The correct points are $(0,-2)$ and (1,2).
