Question

Graph y = 3/4 x + 1

Answer 1

We can take some values and graph.

x is the independent variable. So we take random x values, plug it into the equation, and find corresponding y values.

We graph the points. Draw a smooth line. There, you wil have the graph.

The equation is:

`y=(3)/(4)x+1`

Let's take multiples of 4 as x-values, that would make the answer (y value) come to a whole number.

First, take x = 4, so

`\begin{gathered} y=(3)/(4)(4)+1 \\ y=4 \end{gathered}`

Then take x= -4, so

`\begin{gathered} y=(3)/(4)(-4)+1 \\ y=-2 \end{gathered}`

Let's take x = 0, so we have:

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

We have 3 points, they are:

(4, 4)

(-4, -2)

(0, 1)

We graph them and draw a smooth line. Shown below is the graph of the line:
