Question 411584: y=-2/3 x-2 how do graph using the slope y intercept?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!

y=-%282%2F3%29x-2..........here, you have a slope m=-%282%2F3%29 and the graph
of this line crosses y-axis at -2

to graph it you need two points

let points be :

(0,-2).....your y-intercept...point where x=0

now find your x-intercept...point where y=0

0=-%282%2F3%29x-2

%282%2F3%29x=-2

x=-2%2F%282%2F3%29

x=-%282%2F1%29%2F%282%2F3%29

x=-%282%2A3%29%2F%282%2A1%29

x=-%28cross%282%29%2A3%29%2F%28cross%282%29%29

x=-3

so, x-intercept is at

(-3,0)..
