Question

Graph: y = 3x - 5
Plz help

Answer 1

Explanation:

y=3x-5 is a line

pick any 2 points for example

(x=0, y=(3*0)-5=-5) so one point is (0,-5)

(x=2, y=(3*2)-5= 1) so another point is (2, 1)

draw a line trough points (0, -5) and (2, 1)

Answer 2

The equation, y=3x-5 is in y=mx+b format. The b, or -5 in this case, tells you what the y intercept is, or in this case, your starting point. This means your first point will be at (0,-5). The mx, or 3x in this case, tell us how much to move up and how much to move sideways. 3x is equal to 3/1x and the 3/1 tells us the rise/run. Rise being how much to go up or down and run being how much to go to the left or right. So in 3x, the rise is 3 and the run is 1. So you will go 3 up on the y axis and 1 to the right on the x-axis. So your next point will be (1, -2) and the point after that will be (2, 1) and so on!

hope this helped!
