Math Problem Statement
Solution
The equation given is:
This is a linear equation in slope-intercept form, , where:
- is the slope.
- is the y-intercept, which means the line crosses the y-axis at .
To plot this line on the provided graph:
-
Start at the y-intercept: Locate on the graph (on the y-axis).
-
Use the slope to find another point: The slope means you go up 4 units and right 3 units from the y-intercept. From , move up to and over to . This gives the point .
-
Draw the line: Connect the points and with a straight line. Continue the line in both directions.
If you want more details or help with the graph, let me know!
Here are some additional questions you might find useful:
- How do you interpret the slope in a linear equation?
- How do we calculate the x-intercept of the equation?
- What happens if the slope is negative?
- How does the y-intercept affect the position of the line?
- Can we solve for if in this equation?
Tip: Remember that the slope is the "rise over run," meaning the change in y divided by the change in x.
