Graph y=1/3x-2

Problem

y=1/3*x−2

Solution

1. Identify the equation type as a linear equation in slope-intercept form, which is y=m*x+b

2. Determine the y-intercept by looking at the constant b Here, b=−2 so the graph crosses the y-axis at the point (0,−2)

3. Determine the slope by looking at the coefficient m Here, m=1/3 which represents the "rise over run."

4. Plot the next point by starting at (0,−2) and moving up 1 unit (rise) and right 3 units (run) to reach the point (3,−1)

5. Draw the line through the points (0,−2) and (3,−1) to complete the graph.

Final Answer

y=1/3*x−2
