Question

y equals 2x minus 3 (this type of problwem has to do with graphing)

Answer 1

y = 2x - 3 is in the form y = mx + b where m = 2 and b = -3

Answer 2

so the slope is 2 or 2/1

and the y-intercept is the point (0, -3)

Answer 3

to graph y = 2x - 3, you start with the y-intercept (0, -3)

then you go up 2 units and over to the right 1 unit (this is from the slope rise/run = 2/1)

this will make you go from (0,-3) to (1, -1)

Answer 4

now that you have the points (0,-3) and (1, -1), you just draw a straight line through them to graph y = 2x - 3

Answer 5

thank you so very much for all your help i really appreciate it

Answer 6

before i let u go may i ask for your help on one more problem please

Answer 7

sure thing, what is it

Answer 8

find the xminus and yminus intercepts 3x plus 4y equals 12

Answer 9

to find the x-intercept, you plug in y = 0 and solve for x

Answer 10

3x + 4y = 12

3x + 4(0) = 12

3x + 0 = 12

3x = 12

x = 12/3

x = 4

Answer 11

so the x-intercept is the point (4, 0)

Answer 12

to find the y-intercept, you plug in x = 0 and solve for y

I'll let you do this one. Tell me what you get

Answer 13

i am totally lost im sorry

Answer 14

do you see how I got the x-intercept?

Answer 15

yes but i think i still got confuse

Answer 16

im very sorry

Answer 17

where are you stuck?

Answer 18

don't be sorry, it's ok to not get it and ask questions
