Question

Graph the line with the equation Y = 6x - 1

Answer 1

We can draw the line by giving values to x and y in order to obtain 2 points on the line.

For instance, when x=0 we get

`\begin{gathered} y=6(0)-1 \\ y=-1 \end{gathered}`

then, we obtained point (0,-1).

Now, when x=1, we have

`\begin{gathered} y=6(1)-1 \\ y=6-1 \\ y=5 \end{gathered}`

then, we get point (1,5).

Let's find these points and make the line:
