Answers:
y intercept = -4
slope = -1
==========================================
Explanation:
The given equation is the same as y = -1x + (-4)
Compare this to y = mx+b form, and we see that
m = -1 is the slope
b = -4 is the y intercept
To graph y = -x-4, you could plot the two points (0,-4) and (1,-5) and draw a straight line through them. Extend the line as far as you can in either direction.
Notice how going from (0,-4) to (1,-5) follows the process “down 1, right 1” which is directly pulled from the slope = -1 = -1/1.
