Help Me Pleasegraph The Equation And Identify M And B class=

Sagot :

You have the following equation:

[tex]y=-\frac{7}{2}x[/tex]

Take into account that the general form is a line equation is:

y = mx + b

where m is the slope and b the y coordinate of the y-intercept.

As you can notice, by comparing the given equation with the general expression, you have:

m = -7/2

b = 0

In order to graph the line, you can calculate two points on the line and draw a straight line wich crosses the points. For instance, if x = 0 and x = 2, you have for y:

y = -7/2*(0) = 0

y = -7/2*(2) = -7

which means that (0,0) and (2,-7) are on the line.

Then, the graph can be represented as follow:
