Question

The y value is two less than three times the x value

Answer 1

Answer:

Equation: $y=3x-2$

The graph is attached.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Three times the x value means that you must multiply the variable x by 3: $3x$.

2. According to the problem, you know that the value of $y$  is two less than three times the x value, which you can express as following:

Equation: $y=3x-2$

GRAPH:

1. The equation of the line has the form $y=mx+b$, where b is the y-intercept. Therefore, $b=-2$

2. To find x-intercept substitute y=0 into the equation and solve for x, then:

$y=3x-2$

$0=3x-2\\2/3=x$

3. Draw a line that cut at -2 in the y-axis and at 2/3 in the x-axis.
