Question

The y value is two less than three times the x value

The equation ? corresponds to this sentence.

Please graph.

Answer 1

-2

Explanation:

I just took the quiz in k12.

Answer 2

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.
