Question

Please graph-
y=1/3x+2

codysek98 · Answer

Do you know what a y-intercept is and where you can find the y-intercept in your equation?

sneakysquash · Answer

Yeah I do, the y intercept would be1/3x yeah?

codysek98 · Answer

Other way around. The y-intercept is what number you get when you plug 0 in for x.

codysek98 · Answer

So your y-intercept would be the 2 at the end there. Now for your slope, what do you think the slope is?

sneakysquash · Answer

I honestly don't know man, could you please graph it out for me?

codysek98 · Answer

I'll explain the parts of the equation for you and what they are. I can't just graph it for you, it'll be giving you the answer without you learning it.

studygurl14 · Answer

@sneakysquash you can easily graph it at www.desmos.com/calculator

studygurl14 · Answer

But you should listen to @codysek98 so you can learn how to do it

sneakysquash · Answer

Okay then.

will.h · Answer

$$\frac{ 1 }{ 3 }x + 2$$
or
$$\frac{ 1 }{ 3x } + 2$$

studygurl14 · Answer

the first one @Will.H

will.h · Answer

oh
then create 2 point when x = 0 and the other when y = 0 and that's all

codysek98 · Answer

So in your equation, y=1/3x+2.
1/3 = m which is your slope.
2 = y-intercept 

To graph the equation, you want to start with your y-intercept, which is (0,2).
To graph more points (usually 3 or 4 points is good unless told otherwise), you want to use your slope. The slope is written in rise/run, so you would want to go up 1 and right 3 from your y-intercept and you can also go down 1 and left 3.

I'm very bad at wording things but that's basically the process^

Okay, thanks dude.
