Question

Which of the following is the appropriate graph of the line:

y=23x+1

Answer 1

Explanation:

This line is almost vertical because the slope 23 is very unusually large.

Draw coordinate axes and label the vertical axis from 0 to 24. Label the horizontal axis from 0 to 5.

The y-intercept is (0, 1). Plot this.

Now, with your pencil point on (0, 1), move your point 1 unit to the right and then move it upward 23 units. Plot another dot there.

Now draw a line through (0, 1) and (1, 24).
