Question

Using the slope-intercept form of a line, find the equation of the line with slope 3/2 and y-intercept –2. Then graph the line on the grid provided and explain how you determined your graph.

Answer 1

y=mx+b
m=slope
b=yint
given

slope=3/2=m
yint is -2=b

y=3/2x-2

Answer 2

y = 3/2x - 2

Start at the origin of the graph, go down 2.
From there, go up three, right two, up three, right two
Then go down three, left two, down three, left two
