Graphs of linear functions
Since we are graphing a line, if we have two points we can plot the whole line
We evaluate the line in two points in order to locate two places where it passes through. We say y = h(x)
1. If x = 0 then
h(x) = - 5(0) +3
= 0 + 3
= 3
Then y = 3
2. If x = 2 then
h(x) = - 5(2) +3
= -10 + 3
= -7
Then y = -7
Now, we have two points: (0, 3) and (2, -7)
We locate them and then we plot the only straight line that passes through both points
