Identify Function Type: Identify the type of function to graph.f(x)=−3x−4 is a linear function in the form y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
Determine Slope and Y-Intercept: Determine the slope and y-intercept from the equation.Slope m = −3, y-intercept b = −4.
Plot Y-Intercept: Plot the y-intercept on the graph.The y-intercept is the point (0,−4). Start by plotting this point on the graph.
Use Slope for Another Point: Use the slope to find another point.From the y-intercept (0,−4), move 1 unit to the right (positive direction along the x-axis) and 3 units down (since the slope is −3). This leads to the point (1,−7).
Plot Second Point and Draw Line: Plot the second point and draw the line.Plot the point (1,−7) on the graph. Draw a straight line through the points (0,−4) and (1,−7).
