Question

How do you graph the line `y = 1/3x -2`?

Answer 1

`"see explanation"`

Explanation:

`"The equation of a line in "color(blue)"slope-intercept form"` is.

`• y=mx+b" where m represents the slope and"`
`color(white)(xxxx)"b, the y-intercept."`

`y=1/3x-2" is in this form."`

`rArr"slope " =1/3" and y-intercept" =-2`

`"plot the point " (0,-2)`

`"using the slope, from -2 go up 1, across 3 to the right and"`
`"mark the point, that is (3,-1). Repeat for another point."`
`"and draw a straight line through the points"`
