Question

HELP MY RSM CLASS IS TOMORROW

Graph the lines given by the following equations:

y=3-1/2x

Answer 1

switch the equation around so it looks like the slope intercept form

y= Mx + b

Explanation:

y=3 - 1/2x

y= -1/2x +3

so when x = 0 you know this line is at 3 on the y axis

make a point on the graph at (0,3)

also you know that when x=6 they y is zero.. so

make a point on the graph at (6,0)

now draw a straight line between those two points on your graph :)

Answer 2

To calculate the y position given an x value, multiply the x value by -2 and subtract 3.
