To graph the equation y= -1/2x + 3 using the slope and y-intercept, you would have to do which of the following?

Graph the y-intercept, 3. From that point, move down 1 and to the right 2 to plot another point. Then draw a line that passes through both points.

Graph the y-intercept, -3. From that point, move up 1 and to the right 2 to plot another point. Then draw a line that passes through both points.

Im terrible with these

hero · Answer

Do you at least know what the y-intercept is?

cedric · Answer

its 3 right?

hero · Answer

Yes. Now think about The y-axis for a minute. If the graph hits the y-axis when y = 3, what do you think the value of x will be at that point?

cedric · Answer

uhmm lemme do it on some paper real quick

cedric · Answer

1?

hero · Answer

How would it be 1 ?

cedric · Answer

well because theres only one x right?
