Question

WILL MARK BRAINLIEST in detail, what would you do in order to graph y = 3x -5

Answer 1

So first, you need to identify the parts of this equation.

3x is the slope of the line, which is $\frac{3}{1}$.

-5 is the y-intercept. or the part of the line that touches the y-axis.

The first thing you want to do is plot the y-intercept. SO, go to the y-axis and find -5. Plot your point there.

Now, use the slope $\frac{3}{1}$ to find your next plot. Since slope is $\frac{rise}{run}$, you go up three, and over to the right one.

Now, draw a line connecting the dots. Your slope should be positive and look like > /
