Math Problem Statement

Consider the equation y = 3x - 3. Fill in the blanks to complete the table of values for x = -2, 0, 2, and 4.

Solution

The equation provided is y=3x3y = 3x - 3. Let's use this equation to fill in the table for different values of xx:

  1. When x=2x = -2: y=3(2)3=63=9y = 3(-2) - 3 = -6 - 3 = -9

  2. When x=0x = 0: y=3(0)3=03=3y = 3(0) - 3 = 0 - 3 = -3

  3. When x=2x = 2: y=3(2)3=63=3y = 3(2) - 3 = 6 - 3 = 3

  4. When x=4x = 4: y=3(4)3=123=9y = 3(4) - 3 = 12 - 3 = 9

So the completed table is:

xxyy
-2-9
0-3
23
49

  1. How do you determine the slope and y-intercept from a linear equation?
  2. What is the general form of a linear equation, and how does it relate to slope-intercept form?
  3. How can you graph a linear equation using a table of values?
  4. What changes in the equation y=3x3y = 3x - 3 would make the line steeper or flatter?
  5. How does changing the y-intercept affect the graph of a line?

Tip: When creating a table of values for a linear equation, try using values of xx around zero to see both the positive and negative trends in yy.
