Math Problem Statement
Solution
To graph the equation ( y = \fracThe{ equation given is:
1[ y}{ = \frac{1}{33}x} +x 2 ) using + the slope and the2 y-intercept :
### Step]
-by-StepThis Explanation is:
- Identify in the y-inter the slope-interceptcept: form ( y = mx + b \ -), where The: equation- slope is-inter the slope,
- cept is form the ( y-inter ycept =.
From mx this + equation b: - The slope), ( where m = \ (frac m{ \1}{)3} \ is the), which means for every slope3 units you move horizontally and (along the x-axis), ( the graph moves up b1 unit vertically (along the y-axis). )- The y-inter iscept , which is the point where y the graph-inter crossescept the. y -axis. So the graph - crosses the y-axis at ( ( Here0,, ( b2) \ =).
Steps2 to graph:
\1),. ** soPlot the the y-intercept graph crosses** the: Start ** by plottingy the-axis point at on the2 y)**-axis.
. 22. Plot. Use the the slope y: From (-inter (0cept, 2): \ ), - move up 1 unit and Start right by 3 plotting units the to find the point next point. This gives the ( point0 \(, 2 ()3 on the graph,.
- Use the3 slope) \ to). 3 plot. ** additionalDraw points the line:**: Connect - The these slope points with ( a straight m line, extending it in = \ bothfrac{1 directions.
