You can put this solution on YOUR website!
GRAPH THE LINE Y-2=-3(X+1). sHOW A TABLE WITH AT LEAST THREE(X,Y) VALUES.
LABEL THE X-AND Y-AXES AND SOME "HASH" MARKS.
-----------
Put in slope-intercept form:
y=-3x-3+2
y=-3x-1
If x=0, then y=-1, giving you point (0,-1)
If x=1, then y=-4, giving you point (1,-4)
If x=2, then y=-7, giving you point (2,-7)
