Question

Graph the linear equation y=2/3x-5

Answer 1

As the given equation is a linear equation, to graph it, we simply need to calculate two points on the line, plot these points, then draw a straight line through them.

Given equation:

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

Calculating two points on the line:

`\textsf{when }\: x=0 \implies (2)/(3)(0)-5=-5 \implies (0,-5)`

`\textsf{when }\: x=6 \implies (2)/(3)(6)-5=-1 \implies (6,-1)`

Plot these points and draw a straight line through them (attached).
