Graph x-y=4

Problem

x−y=4

Solution

1. Rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form y=m*x+b by isolating y

x−y=4

−y=−x+4

y=x−4

2. Identify the slope m and the yintercept b from the equation.

m=1

b=−4

3. Determine the yintercept point by setting x=0

(0,−4)

4. Determine the xintercept point by setting y=0

0=x−4

x=4

(4,0)

5. Plot the points (0,−4) and (4,0) on a coordinate plane and draw a straight line through them to represent the linear relationship.

Final Answer

y=x−4
