Sketching a Slope Field For y'=-1-2y

📈 Sketching a Slope Field for y'=-1-2y 🧮 Learn how to graph a direction field for the differential equation y'=-1-2y. In this video, we will show you how to organize your work by setting y'=-1-2y equal to a constant and then solving for y. By doing this, you can determine where the slope is equal to 0, and the value of y that makes it true. We will walk you through how to evaluate different values of y, such as when y is 0 or negative 1, and show you how to graph the slope segments with little lineal segments that indicate the slope direction.

📊 By repeating this process for more inputs, you will discover that the slope field looks like a general pattern, where solutions tend towards y equals negative one-half. We will also show you how to write a basic limit statement to support this conclusion.
