Question 700414
y=mx+b is the slope intercept form of a line.  m is the slope and b is the y intercept.  Plug in the values given: m=3/3 and b=-2:<P>
y = 3/2 x -2.  <P>
Graph it by determining two points on the line, then connecting them.<P>
One point is (0,-2) - that's the y intercept.  It's the y value when x = 0.<P>
Pick an x value.  Plug it into the equation.  Find the y-value.  That gives a second point.<P>
Use x=1.  Then y = 3/2 * 1 -2 = 3/2 - 2 = 3/2 - 4/2 = -1/2.  That second point is (1,-1/2).<P>
Draw the points, connect them with a line.<P>
