Directions: Graph each equation by using the y-intercept and slope( make sure too show your work)
FIRST QUESTION: y= -2/3x-1
y-intercept=____
Slope:____

Sagot :

Given:

The equation of a linear function is:

[tex]y=-\dfrac{2}{3}x-1[/tex]

To find:

The y-intercept and slope of the given equation, then draw the graph of the equation.

Solution:

Slope intercept form of a line is:

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]             ...(i)

Where, m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

We have,

[tex]y=-\dfrac{2}{3}x-1[/tex]        ...(ii)

On comparing (i) and (ii), we get

[tex]m=-\dfrac{2}{3}[/tex]

[tex]b=-1[/tex]

Therefore, the y-intercept is -1 and the slope of the line is [tex]-\dfrac{2}{3}[/tex].

It means the graph intersect the y-axis at point (0,-1) and having slope [tex]-\dfrac{2}{3}[/tex]. So, the graph of the equation is shown below.
