Question

Graph f(x) =x and g(x) =-1/3x+2

Answer 1

Hello! I'll write the instructions to graph these functions.

f(x)=x
Technically, this function is y=x, so the slope would be 1. To graph this one, start at the origin (0,0) and move up one unit, and to the right one unit since this is a positive slope.

g(x)= -1/3x+2
First, plot a point at y=2 when x=0. 2 is your y-intercept. Your slope is negative, so the line will be decreasing. From your first point, head down 1 unit and to the right 3 units. Continue plotting points from the previous points.

Also, if you have a graphing calculator, here are the steps to graphing the functions: ON, Y= (enter your functions), and press GRAPH or 2nd, TABLE to see individual points. Hope this helps! :)
