Answer:
1. Plot the point (–2,4).
2. From that point, count left 3 units and down 1 unit and plot a second point.
3. Draw a line through the two points.
Explanation:
Given:
The equation is:
![y-4=(1)/(3)(x+2)](https://img.qammunity.org/2020/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/80euu7wbsa4uzw9e5voftxy45eb0dfrbl9.png)
Express this in the standard form,
![y=mx+b](https://img.qammunity.org/2020/formulas/mathematics/high-school/8nudzfk4b5l0arb9iixag2w8am6zn99zlr.png)
Where,
is the slope of the line and
is the y-intercept.
![y-4=(1)/(3)((x+2)\\y=(1)/(3)((x+2)+4\\y=(1)/(3)x+(2)/(3)+4\\y=(1)/(3)x+(14)/(3)](https://img.qammunity.org/2020/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/pcw0s194ikfclwq8fgbo0mf0jh1svmm3cg.png)
So, the slope is
and y-intercept is
.
Now, for
![x=-2,y=(1)/(3)* -2+(14)/(3)=4](https://img.qammunity.org/2020/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/qzuob4d1levw1vfsyhtg2uwmw7plu59x9c.png)
So, first we plot the point
.
Since, the slope is
, we have to move 3 units to left and then 1 unit down to plot a second point.
Slope is positive, therefore, we have to move left and then down
Lastly, we have to draw a line passing through these two points to graph the equation
.
