Question

Plot the line for the equation on the graph. y−5=3/2(x−2)

Answer 1

so i see this i an old question, but the other answer makes no sense and anyone else taking the test NOW may need help and not want the answer wrong, so here is the CORRECT answer.

The first point is (2,5) (2 on x and 5 on y), The second point is (4,8) (4 on x and 8 on y)

THis is correct i did the test this was correct.:P hope i helped

Answer 2

The equation of the line is:
y - 5 = 3/2 (x - 2)

Transforming the line into the slope intercept form:
y = 3x/2 - 3 + 5
y = 3x/2 + 2

The slope is 3/2 and the y-intercept is 2.

Plotting this on the graph can be done using these steps:
Locate the point (0,2) on the graph.
From (0,2), count 3 units up and 2 units to the left and indicate that point.
Finally, connect the two points and extend the line.
