Question

Use technology to find points and then graph the line y=-3(x-1)-4,y=−3(x−1)−4, following the instructions below.

Answer 1

Given the equation;

$y=-3(x-1)-4$

We asked to find some points and plot the graph.

Explanation

Any line can be graphed using two points. Select two x values, and plug them into the equation to find the corresponding y values.

Therefore, when x =0

$\begin{gathered} y=-3(0-1)-4 \\ y=3-4 \\ y=-1 \end{gathered}$

When x =1

$\begin{gathered} y=-3(1-1)-4 \\ y=-4 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the graph of the equation can be seen below.
