How do you graph #y= -x+7 #?

Answer 1

graph{-x + 7 [-10, 10, -5, 5]} This is what your graph should look like. Just make sure to extend the y-axis further up to show the y-intercept.

The "+7" indicates that there will be a y-intercept at 7. Therefore, you can plot a point at (0,7). Next, go 1 unit down and one to the right from the point you have just plotted. Mark this with another point. Connect the two points and extend your line. Don't forget to label the x and y-axis and draw arrowheads on your line.

I hope that helps!

To graph the equation y = -x + 7, follow these steps:

Plot the y-intercept at (0, 7).
Use the slope (-1) to find another point. Since the slope is negative, move down 1 unit and right 1 unit from the y-intercept.
Connect the two points to draw the line.

That's it.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
