Question

How do you graph `y= (2/3)x - 3`?

Answer 1

The line goes through y at -3 and has a slope of `2/3`.

Explanation:

The slope intercept equation of a line is
`y=mx+b`
where `m` is the slope and `b` is the y intercept.

For the equation `y=2/3x -3`
The slope `m = 2/3` and the y intercept `b = -3`

Begin by identifying the y intercept at -3 or the point (0,-3)

Next use the slope `m =2/3` or `m = (2 rise)/(3run)` to determine the next point of the graph by going up +2 and to the right +3.

Now just draw the line through those two points.
