Question

Graph the line with a slope of -3/2 that passes through the point (-1,2)

Answer 1

Answer:

See diagram

Step-by-step explanation:

The line with the slope of $-\dfrac{3}{2}$ has the equation

$y=-\dfrac{3}{2}x+b$

This line passes through the point (-1,2), so

$2=-\dfrac{3}{2}\cdot (-1)+b\\ \\b=2-1.5\\ \\b=0.5$

The line has the equation

$y=-1.5x+0.5$

This line intersects the y-axis at point (0,0.5) and the y-axis at point (1/3, 0). Plot these points and connect them with the straight line (see attached diagram)
