Graph y=5x-3

Problem

y=5*x−3

Solution

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

2. Determine the y-intercept by looking at the constant b which is −3 This gives the starting point (0,−3) on the y-axis.

3. Identify the slope m which is 5 This can be written as the fraction 5/1 representing the "rise over run."

4. Plot a second point by starting at (0,−3) and moving up 5 units and right 1 unit to reach the point (1,2)

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

Final Answer

y=5*x−3
