Graph: y=3/2x - 1 (using the gradient/intercept method)

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Start with the intercept (0,-1).
Plot it.

Now use the slope (gradient), m=3%2F2
Slope is change in y over change in x.
So, if I change 2 in x, y will change 3.
So to plot the next points, move 2 units in x.
xp=0+2=2
THen move 3 units in y.
yp=-1+3=2
(2,2).
Plot that point.

Finally connect the points with a line that goes through both of them.
