Question

Y=1/3x-2

what would be y? and how to solve?
x y
-3 ?
0 ?
3 ?
6 ?

Answer 1

Y-intercept would be (0,-2)

The equation of a line in
slope-intercept form
is.
∙
y
=
m
x
+
b
where m represents the slope and

×
×
b, the y-intercept.
y
=
1
3
x
−
2
is in this form.
⇒
slope
=
1
3
and y-intercept
=
−
2
plot the point
(
0
,
−
2
)
using the slope, from -2 go up 1, across 3 to the right and

mark the point, that is (3,-1). Repeat for another point.

and draw a straight line through the points
