Graph the equation and identify the \( y \)-intercept. \( y=-x \)

To graph the equation \( y = -x \), you can start by plotting a few points. For example, when \( x = 0 \), \( y = 0 \); when \( x = 1 \), \( y = -1 \); and when \( x = -1 \), \( y = 1 \). This creates a straight line that passes through the origin and has a slope of -1, indicating it declines as it moves from left to right. The \( y \)-intercept of the equation is the point where the graph crosses the \( y \)-axis. For the given equation \( y = -x \), the \( y \)-intercept is at the point (0, 0). So you could say it’s a party at the origin!
