Question

Determine the graph of line with the given y-intercept and slope

Answer 1

The form of the equation of the line is

y=mx+b

where m is the slope and

b is the y-intercept

In our case

m=3/2

and

b=-5

the equation of the line is

y=3/2 x -5

In order to graph we need at least another point and connect it with the y-intercept

if x=2

y=3/2 (2)-5=3-5=-2

y=-2

The point is

(2,-2)

Then we can graph the line
