Question

Which of the following could be the graph of the line y = 3x - 2?

Answer 1

Since there is no picture provided, I can't give you the answer, but I can help you solve it.  

To solve this you have to first look at the b part of the formula y=mx+b, so -2.

Then, you can find -2 on the y-axis (the vertical axis)

and then you could move upwards 3 spaces, then right 1 space.

You would do this as the slope is 3/1 (the mx part of the equation).

Finally, you continue to move up 3, and right 1 until there are enough points on the graph to make a line, and that will help you see what graph is correct.

It should look something like this:

Answer 2

You didn't give a graph but I will visualize what it looks like for you.

The line is going through (0,-2) because that is the y-intercept.

The line has a slope of 3.

So, the line goes through:

(1,1)

(2,4)

(3,7)

(4,10)

(5,13)
