Graph the equation.
-y = x

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The equation y = x represents a straight line with a slope of 1 (meaning the line goes up one unit for every one unit it moves horizontally) and a y-intercept of 0. Choice B shows a line passing through the origin (0,0) with the correct slope, so it is the best choice. The equation is a simple linear equation with a slope of 1 (since the coefficient of x is 1). This means that the graph will be a straight line that passes through the origin with a slope of 1. Choice B shows a line that fits this description. The other choices either do not pass through the origin or do not have a slope of 1.
