Graph y = -2/3x + 12 2. Does the -2/3 and the 12 have any connection to the graph? Explain.

Given the equation of the line:


y=-(2)/(3)x+12

We can use a graphing tool to draw the line. It will be shown below:

The two parameters: m = -2/3 and b = 12 are the slope and the y-intercept respectively.

The slope is negative which means the line is decreasing. For every 3 units that x increases, y decreases by 2 units.

The y-intercept is the point where the line intercepts the y-axis. We can see the line passes through the point (0, 12).

Thus, both values are connected to the graph, as explained above.
