Exercise 41 Page 143

Rewrite the equation in a slope-intercept form.

Error: Slope and y-intercept switched
Correct Graph:

Practice makes perfect
We will begin by writing the given equation in slope-intercept form.

-4x+y=-2 ⇔ y=4x-2 The y-intercept is -2 and the slope is 4. These values seemed to have been switched around when the graph was drawn. Let's graph the correct line on the same coordinate plane.
