Question

Graph the linear function in question: y = 1/3 x -4

Answer 1

Recall that, in order to graph a line we need two points on the line.

Evaluating the given function at x=0 we get:

`\begin{gathered} y=(1)/(3)*0-4=0-4 \\ =-4. \end{gathered}`

Therefore the graph of the given function passes through (0,-4).

Evaluating the given function at x=3 we get:

`\begin{gathered} y=(1)/(3)*3-4=1-4 \\ =-3. \end{gathered}`

Therefore the graph of the given function passes through (3,-3).

Then the graph of the given function is:
