Question

Which graph represents the function y = x – 2?

Answer 1

Answer:

Create a point at (0, -2) and (5, 3) then draw a line that connects and extends beyond these two points.

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b

m = slope which is rise over run

b = y intercept

y = x - 2 actually means y = 1x - 2

m = 1

b = -2

The y intercept of your graph is (0, -2) and your slope is 1 - so from the y intercept move up 1 (for the purpose of graphing move up 5) and to the right 1 (for the purpose of graphing move right 5) to the point (1, -1) or (5, 3) Just be sure to move up and to the right the same number of places and create a point. Then draw a line connecting and extending beyond these two points.
