Question 227638


Looking at {{{y=(4/3)x+2}}} we can see that the equation is in slope-intercept form {{{y=mx+b}}} where the slope is {{{m=4/3}}} and the y-intercept is {{{b=2}}} 



Since {{{b=2}}} this tells us that the y-intercept is *[Tex \LARGE \left(0,2\right)].Remember the y-intercept is the point where the graph intersects with the y-axis


So we have one point *[Tex \LARGE \left(0,2\right)]


{{{drawing(500,500,-10,10,-10,10,
  grid(1),
  blue(circle(0,2,.1)),
  blue(circle(0,2,.12)),
  blue(circle(0,2,.15))
)}}}



Now since the slope is comprised of the "rise" over the "run" this means

{{{slope=rise/run}}}


Also, because the slope is {{{4/3}}}, this means:


{{{rise/run=4/3}}}



which shows us that the rise is 4 and the run is 3. This means that to go from point to point, we can go up 4  and over 3




So starting at *[Tex \LARGE \left(0,2\right)], go up 4 units 

{{{drawing(500,500,-10,10,-10,10,
  grid(1),
  blue(circle(0,2,.1)),
  blue(circle(0,2,.12)),
  blue(circle(0,2,.15)),
  blue(arc(0,2+(4/2),2,4,90,270))
)}}}


and to the right 3 units to get to the next point *[Tex \LARGE \left(3,6\right)]

{{{drawing(500,500,-10,10,-10,10,
  grid(1),
  blue(circle(0,2,.1)),
  blue(circle(0,2,.12)),
  blue(circle(0,2,.15)),
  blue(circle(3,6,.15,1.5)),
  blue(circle(3,6,.1,1.5)),
  blue(arc(0,2+(4/2),2,4,90,270)),
  blue(arc((3/2),6,3,2, 180,360))
)}}}



Now draw a line through these points to graph {{{y=(4/3)x+2}}}


{{{drawing(500,500,-10,10,-10,10,
  grid(1),
  graph(500,500,-10,10,-10,10,(4/3)x+2),
  blue(circle(0,2,.1)),
  blue(circle(0,2,.12)),
  blue(circle(0,2,.15)),
  blue(circle(3,6,.15,1.5)),
  blue(circle(3,6,.1,1.5)),
  blue(arc(0,2+(4/2),2,4,90,270)),
  blue(arc((3/2),6,3,2, 180,360))
)}}} So this is the graph of {{{y=(4/3)x+2}}} through the points *[Tex \LARGE \left(0,2\right)] and *[Tex \LARGE \left(3,6\right)]
