Answer:

Equation:
y=3x-2

The graph is attached.

Explanation:

1. Three times the x value means that you must multiply the variable x by 3:
3x.

2. According to the problem, you know that the value of
y is two less than three times the x value, which you can express as following:

Equation:
y=3x-2

GRAPH:

1. The equation of the line has the form
y=mx+b, where b is the y-intercept. Therefore,
b=-2

2. To find x-intercept substitute y=0 into the equation and solve for x, then:


y=3x-2


0=3x-2\\2/3=x

3. Draw a line that cut at -2 in the y-axis and at 2/3 in the x-axis.

The y value is two less than three times the x value The equation ? corresponds to-example-1
