Graph y=x/2-3 by using the slope and y-intercept.

Step 1. The slope-intercept from is given as y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept at x=0 or at point (0,b).

Step 2. Comparing with , the slope and the y-intercept

Step 3. Now the slope of for every two units you go the right, you go one unit up.
To plot the line take the y-intercept at point (0,-3). So starting at point (0,-3) or x1=0 and y1=-3 we go two units to the right means x2=0+2=2 and 1 unit up means y2=-3+1=-2. So we have two points (0,-3) and (2,-2) used to plot the line.

I hope the above explanation was useful.

And good luck in your studies!
