Math Problem Statement

Graph y = 1/3x + 2 using the slope and the y-intercept.

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:

  1. Identify in the y-inter the slope-interceptcept: form ( y = mx + b \ -), where The: equation- misinm is in slope is-inter the slope,
  • bbcept 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 bthe=2b the = 2, 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:

  • Mark the point (3,3)(3, 3) on the graph.
  1. Draw the line:
    • Use a ruler or straight edge to connect the two points (0,2)(0, 2) and (3,3)(3, 3). Extend the line in both directions.

Final Graph:

  • The line will have a gentle upward slope since 13\frac{1}{3} is positive but less steep.
  • The line crosses the y-axis at (0,2)(0, 2).
