To graph a linear equation, you must determine what a and b are for the equation y=ax+b. For this example, a=-1 and b=4. A is the slope and b is the y-intercept. The slope is the height of the line over the length of it. In this equation, the line goes down one unit for each unit right. The y-intercept refers to where the line crosses the y axis. For this example, it crosses the y axis at y=4. The line will cross the y axis at y=4 and then goes down and to the right and up and to the left. It will cross the x axis at x=4.
