Graph the following:

to graph it you need two points
easiest way is to find x and y-intercepts

...set



=> x-intercept is at (,)

...set

=> y-intercept is at (,)

plot these points and draw a line through






Answer by math_tutor2020(3817)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!

The given equation is y = (3/2)x - 2
Compare this to y = mx+b

m = 3/2 = slope
b = -2 = y intercept

The y intercept tells us that the point (0,-2) is on the line.
Move 3 units up and 2 units to the right to arrive at (2,1) as another point on this line.
The pattern "up 3, right 2" is from the slope.

Plot the two points (0,-2) and (2,1)
Draw a straight line through them.

GeoGebra and Desmos are two graphing tools I recommend.
