Your graph should represent the line
.
To graph the line given by the equation
, we can rearrange it into the slope-intercept form
, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
1. Start with the given equation:
![\[ y + 2 = (3)/(2)(x + 4) \]](https://img.qammunity.org/2018/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/zx8xb8ye2kfpps8vh3ylyt1oxtwxo999tl.png)
2. Distribute
on the right side:
![\[ y + 2 = (3)/(2)x + 6 \]](https://img.qammunity.org/2018/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/cqq4f2bxs4rhutkw45ikwq3aotrvv5bdj2.png)
3. Subtract 2 from both sides to isolate \(y\):
![\[ y = (3)/(2)x + 4 \]](https://img.qammunity.org/2018/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/py31e845x67r23fg0p4noc25ampn49jour.png)
Now, you can identify the slope
and the y-intercept (4).
To graph the line
1. Plot the y-intercept at (0, 4).
2. Use the slope to find another point. Since the slope is \(\frac{3}{2}\), you can move up 3 units and to the right 2 units from the y-intercept. This gives you the point (2, 7).
3. Draw a line through these two points.
Your graph should represent the line \(y = \frac{3}{2}x + 4\).
