Question

To graph the equation y equals negative one half times x minus 3 using the slope and y-intercept, you would have to do which of the following?
Choose one answer.
a. 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.
b. 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.
c. Graph the y-intercept, -3. From that point, move down 1 and to the right 2 to plot another point. Ten draw line that pases t

Answer 1

The y-intercept is the value of y when x=0. Therefore when you substitute 0 into x, you get -3 as the y-value. Since the coefficient of the x-term is negative, you move downwards when you graph. That gives you the answer C. (:
