Question

Where would the line go??? Please help asap!!

Answer 1

Answer: Draw a line through (0,5) and (1,2)

The graph is shown below.

=====================================================

Reason:

The equation y = -3x+5 is in the form y = mx+b

m = -3 = slope

b = 5 = y intercept

The y intercept is where the graph crosses the y axis. In this case, it's at (0,5). This is one point needed.

Another point can be found by going down 3 and to the right 1 to arrive at (1,2). The motion "down 3, right 1" is from the slope of -3/1.

Therefore, this line goes through (0,5) and (1,2)

Another approach:

Plug in x = 0 to get...

y = -3x+5

y = -3(0) + 5

y = 5

The input x = 0 leads to the output y = 5

This tells us the point (x,y) = (0,5) is on the line.

Repeat for x = 1

y = -3x+5

y = -3(1)+5

y = 2

So (1,2) is another point on the line.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

$y=-3x+5.$

x | 0 | 1 |

y | 5 | 2 |
