Math Problem Statement
Given the linear equation y = (2/3)x + 2, fill in the table with x and y values and graph the equation on the provided grid.
Solution
The image shows a linear equation , a table with empty and values, and a coordinate plane grid for graphing. To complete the table and graph the equation, we can choose specific values for , compute the corresponding values for , and plot them.
Step-by-Step Process:
-
Choose -values: Let's pick three easy values for , such as -3, 0, and 3.
-
Substitute into the equation:
- For :
- For :
- For :
-
Complete the table:
-3 | 0 |
0 | 2 |
3 | 4 |
- Plot the points on the grid:
- Plot the points (-3, 0), (0, 2), and (3, 4).
- Draw a straight line through these points to represent the equation .
