Question

Graph or explain how to graph the equation: y = 3x -5

Answer 1

3 is the slope and -5 is the y-intercept

Answer 2

slope intercept form is

y=mx+b

where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

the equation is given in slope intercept form so that the

slope = 3

y-intercept = -5

to graph this you will first place a point on (-5,0) since it's the y intercept.

then since the slope is rise/run and we have 3 (or 3/1) you will start at (-5,0), and from there go up 3 units and to the right one unit. where you end up will be your second point.

hope this helps
