Which of the following is not a step used when graphing the equation y = one over twox - 3 using the slope-intercept method? Plot the y-intercept (0, -3). Draw a line through the two points. Count up 1 and right 2 from the y-intercept. Plot the x-intercept (6, 0).

MEDAL to who answers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Plot the x-intercept (6,0) will not be used

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what does that mean

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The four lines after the questions are the options, right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

When graphing a line that is given in slope-intercept form, you first plot the y-intercept (plug in x=0). Then you use the slope of the equation to go up a certain distance, and over a certain distance, and plot a point wherever you finish. Then you draw a line between the two points and that's the graph. You don't need to use the x-intercept to graph a line.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it is the second option

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's the fourth option since the question is asking which step is not used. You use the second option when you draw the line between the y-intercept and the second point you found by using the slope.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh when you said the forth option is not used i thought you meant it was not an answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oops, that's my fault, I should've specified that earlier. The answer you are looking for is the fourth option since it's not used when graphing a line.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you
