Math Problem Statement
y = 3x - 5
Solution
The equation you provided is a linear equation in slope-intercept form, which is expressed as:
where:
- is the slope of the line (the rate at which changes with respect to ).
- is the y-intercept (the value of when ).
For your equation :
- The slope , meaning that for every unit increase in , increases by 3.
- The y-intercept , meaning that the line crosses the y-axis at .
Would you like to:
- Find specific points on the line?
- Graph the equation?
- Explore how to solve for ?
- Calculate the slope between two points on the line?
- Understand how this equation relates to other types of functions?
Tip: The slope of a line indicates its steepness and direction. A positive slope means the line rises as you move from left to right.
