Question

y = 3x - 2

Answer 1

Answer 2

Same idea as before. It is already in slope-intercept form y = mx + b

Answer 3

y = 3x - 2 compared to
y = mx + b
gives m = 3 and b = -2

Answer 4

b = -2
m = 3

Answer 5

Start by plotting the y-intercept, which is (0, b), in this case, (0, -2)

Answer 6

ok! then go to the right 3 up 1?

Answer 7

No.
How do you write 3 as a fraction?

Answer 8

3/1

Answer 9

Right. Now since slope = m = 3 = 3/1, what does that mean? What does a slope of 3/1 mean in terms of rise and run?

Answer 10

rise 3 to the right 1?

Answer 11

Right, so after you plot the y-intercept, you go up 3 and 1 to the right.

Answer 12

only 4 more left :)

Answer 13

y = -2/3x - 1

Answer 14

I think by now you should be able to handle them on your own. You've got the idea already.

Answer 15

m = -2/3
b = -1 ?

Answer 16

oh

Answer 17

correct. so once again, start by plotting the y-intercept which is (0, -1) this time.

Answer 18

did that, and then go down 2 and then across 3?
