Which is the graph of y is equal to negative 1 fourth x minus 1 ?
Answer
A
Image with description A coordinate plane with a line going through point 2, 0.
B
Image with description A coordinate plane with a line going through points near negative 1, 4 and 1, negative 4.
C
Image with description A coordinate plane with a line going through points near negative 1, 4 and 1, negative 4.
D
Image with description A coordinate plane with a line going through point negative 4, 0.
Explanation
To find the x-intercept, set y = 0: 0 = −(1/4)x − 1, so x = −4. The graph must pass through (−4, 0), which matches choice D, the graph going through point negative 4, 0.
