Graph a Direct Variation Equation (Negative Slope) Example 2

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Bypass the table and go straight to the graph. A short video shows one example of graphing a direct variation equation with a negative slope by using the same method as graphing an equation in slope-intercept form. Pupils see it's easy to plot the slope from the origin to create the graph.
