Identify the slope and y intercept. Then, graph the linear equation.
y - 5 = -3x
Begin with b . b=
Move with m . m=
In the given equation, y - 5 = -3x, we can rearrange it to the standard form of a linear equation (y = mx + b):
y = -3x + 5
The slope (m) is the coefficient of x, which is -3.
The y-intercept (b) is the constant term, which is 5.
Therefore, the slope (m) is -3 and the y-intercept (b) is 5.
To graph the linear equation, we can plot the y-intercept on the y-axis (where the line intersects the y-axis) and then use the slope to find other points on the line.
Plotting the y-intercept (0, 5), we can use the slope of -3 to find more points.
Start from the y-intercept (0, 5) and go down 3 units (since the slope is negative) and right 1 unit (since the slope is not a fraction). This gives us the point (1, 2).
We can continue this pattern to find more points.
Let's go down 3 units and right 1 unit from (1, 2). This gives us the point (2, -1).
Graphing these points and connecting them with a straight line, we get:
