How do you graph the line #y=-x#?

Question

HIX Tutor · Accepted Answer

undefined To graph the line y = -x:
1. Start at the origin (0,0).
2. Go up or down 1 unit and move to the left 1 unit from the point. 
3. Repeat this pattern to draw more points.
4. Connect the points with a straight line.

This line goes through the origin and has a slope of -1.

y intercept at (0,0) and slope of <mathjax>#-1/1# The equation <mathjax>#y=-x#</mathjax> can be written in slope intercept form as 
<mathjax>#y=-1/1x+0#</mathjax> making the y intercept at <mathjax>#(0,0)#</mathjax> and the slope <mathjax>#-1/1#
Begin by graphing the y intercept at the origin (0,0) and then use the slope down 1 for -1 and over 1 to map the remaining points.

Eva Abramson · Answer

undefined To graph the line y = -x, you plot points that satisfy the equation. You can choose any values for x and find the corresponding y values by substituting them into the equation. For example:

When x = 0, y = -0 = 0
When x = 1, y = -1
When x = 2, y = -2

Plot these points on a coordinate plane and draw a straight line through them. This line represents the graph of y = -x.
