Start with the given equation
Convert 1.5 to
Looking at
we can see that the equation is in slope-intercept form
where the slope is
and the y-intercept is
note:
really looks like
Since
this tells us that the y-intercept is
)
.Remember the y-intercept is the point where the graph intersects with the y-axis
So we have one point
Now since the slope is comprised of the "rise" over the "run" this means
Also, because the slope is
, this means:
which shows us that the rise is 3 and the run is 2. This means that to go from point to point, we can go up 3 and over 2
So starting at
, go up 3 units
and to the right 2 units to get to the next point
)
Now draw a line through these points to graph
So this is the graph of
through the points
and
You can
put this solution on YOUR website!graph y=1.5x
-----------------------------
y = (3/2)x
Plot two points:
If x = 0, y = 0
If x = 2, y = 3
-----------------
Plot the points: (0,0) and (2,3)
and draw a line thru them.
