Question

How can you graph Y=5/3x-9

Answer 1

Answer:

The attached shows a graph

Explanation:

A graphing calculator can graph this for you when you give it the equation.

For graphing by hand, it is helpful to recognize that the equation is in "slope-intercept" form. This means the constant term (-9) is the y-intercept, the point on the y-axis where the line crosses. Mark the point -9 on the y-axis. (The coordinates are (0, -9).

The slope is 5/3, the coefficient of x. This means the line goes up 5 units for every 3 units it goes to the right. The point that is 3 over and 5 up from (0, -9) is (0+3, -9+5) = (3, -4). Mark that point.

Draw a line through the marked points.
