Question

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

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

@precal

Answer 3

what's the y-intercept?

Answer 4

-3?

Answer 5

yep, so we can eliminate the first and fourth choice, because they're saying that the y-intercept is 3, which it isn't

Answer 6

and what's the slope?

Answer 7

1/2?

Answer 8

exactly, and to graph a line with a slope of 1/2, you'd do what? would you go up 1, or down one?

Answer 9

go up ?

Answer 10

yes. so you're answer is the second choice :) good job

Answer 11
