I'm just going to go on a hunch and say something is wrong with the equation you wrote :P

I think so to

anonymous · Answer

ughh typo Y=-2/3x + 400

jlg030597 · Answer

ok then you have to graph it?

anonymous · Answer

no i just have to describe how i would

jlg030597 · Answer

It looks like a slope form type problem

anonymous · Answer

?

jlg030597 · Answer

slope you know $$rise/run $$

anonymous · Answer

i just have to explain how i would graph it

jlg030597 · Answer

I think it means that with the -2/3x you are to go over to -2 and then up to positive 3 now the 400 im lost with that

anonymous · Answer

okay

jlg030597 · Answer

I think but I could be wrong Algebra 1 was almost two years ago for me now so its hard to remember

jlg030597 · Answer

@johnweldon1993 do you have any ideas

johnweldon1993 · Answer

So what you do...is you go to 400 on the y-axis (400 resembles the y-intercept) and FROM THERE you go 2 down...and 3 over to the right since this is negative slope...
