Re: Line Graphs
All you need to do is replace the x in y = 1/4x - 3 by the values in your table.
So, to work out what to fill in below -8, you say y = (1/4)(-8) - 3.
This works out as -2 - 3 = -5, and so that's your answer.
Similarly, to work out the other two values, replace x in the equation by -4, and then 8.
Why did the vector cross the road?
It wanted to be normal.
