Question

Describe and correct the error a student made in graphing the function y=

and
The points
(Type ordered pairs, using integers or decimals.)
51x
are incorrect. The labels of these points should be and
respectively.

Answer 1

The error in the graphing is

In step 1, the y-intercept should be plotted as (0, -6)

Features of the equation

According to the problem, we have the equation y = -3/4 x - 6

comparing with equation of a line in slope intercept from

y = mx + b

The y-intercept is b, this is the point on the graph, where the line intersects the y-axis.

Examining the graph shows that the y-intercept is (0, -6) instead of (0, 6)
