Question

Can you help me graph this equation?

Answer 1

Attached a graph with red lines so it's easy to see

Start with y intercept which is -3. Do rise/ run with 1 as the rise and 2 as the run. For every point go 1 box up and 2 to the right as this is positive. Hope this helps ★

Answer 2

A graph is attached

Explanation:

The equation is in slope-intercept form:

... y = mx + b

Here, the value of m (the slope) is 1/2, and the value of b (the y-intercept) is -3.

This means that point (0, -3) is a point on the graph. This point is on the y-axis, 3 units below the x-axis.

Slope is sometimes referred to as "rise over run." The slope of 1/2 means the line will rise 1 unit for each 2 units to the right. That is, for some point (x, y) on the ine, another point will be found at (x+2, y+1).

Given a point at (0, -3), another point will be (0, -3) +(2, 1) = (2, -2), and another point will be (2, -2) +(2, 1) = (4, -1).

You can plot as many points as you like, then draw the line through them.
