Question

The slope of a line is 2. The y-intercept of the line is –6. Which statements accurately describe how to graph the function?

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is the first one of your list of options:

"Locate the ordered pair (0, –6). From that point on the graph, move up 2, right 1 to locate the next ordered pair on the line. Draw a line through the two points."

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the y-intercept is -6, then the point (0, -6) is a point on the line.That is x = 0 and y = -6. From there you move according to the slope value "2 = 2/1" which means two units of rise when the run is one.

Then, from (0, -6) move up 2 units and then right one unit. The new point should also be a point on the line. Join the two points with a line to graph the function.
