Question

Which of the following describes how to graph the line whose equation is y =2/3 x - 1?


Plot the point (0, -1), move up 3 and right 2, plot the point, and draw the line through these 2 points.
Plot the point (0, -1), move up 2 and right 3, plot the point, and draw the line through these 2 points.
Plot the point (-1, 0), move up 2 and right 3, plot the point, and draw the line through these 2 points.

the answer is option B.
Do you have any query to be cleared?

Answer 4

yeh just how you got tht i ....can you explain

Answer 5

Yeah sure thing..
Look the question actually says to plot the point (0,-1) because if you put zero in x's place then the line equation would look like
y = 2/3 * 0 -1
So y would become -1 itdelf.
That is why they tell us to first plot (0,-1)
And then they tell us to move 2 up and three right because if you move 2 up
y value bcome -1. +2 which is 1
And then they tell us to kove three right so that x value becomes 3
So they actually are tellinus to plot the point (3,1)
Which fits the equation again because
y=2*3/3 aq which is 2-1 which is the y value 1 when x is 3!!
Get it? :D

Answer 6

That aq at the end is -1! :D
