Graph y=4x-1

Problem

y=4*x−1

Solution

1. Identify the type of equation. This is a linear equation in slope-intercept form, which is y=m*x+b

2. Determine the slope m and the y-intercept b In the equation y=4*x−1 the slope m=4 and the y-intercept b=−1

3. Plot the y-intercept on the coordinate plane. The point is (0,−1)

4. Use the slope to find a second point. Since the slope m=4/1 move up 4 units and right 1 unit from the y-intercept (0,−1) to reach the point (1,3)

5. Draw a straight line passing through the points (0,−1) and (1,3) to complete the graph.

Final Answer

y=4*x−1
