Math Problem Statement
y = 2 − 3x
Solution
The equation you provided is . This is a linear equation in the form , where is the slope and is the y-intercept. Here, the slope is -3, and the y-intercept is 2.
Analysis:
- Slope (m): The slope of the line is -3. This means that for every unit increase in , decreases by 3 units.
- Y-intercept (b): The y-intercept is 2. This is the point where the line crosses the y-axis, at .
Graphing:
To graph this line, you can start at the y-intercept (0, 2). From there, use the slope to find another point on the line. Since the slope is -3, you can go down 3 units and to the right 1 unit to find another point.
Example Points:
- When , .
- When , .
- When , .
