Graph the line, how do you graph the line? y=-3/4x+2

Transcribed Image Text:**Instruction for Graphing a Line**
**Objective:**
Graph the line represented by the equation.
**Equation:**
\( y = -\frac{3}{4}x + 2 \)
**Description:**
1. **Understanding the Equation:**
- The equation is in slope-intercept form: \( y = mx + b \).
- **Slope (m):** \(-\frac{3}{4}\)
- **Y-intercept (b):** \(2\)
2. **Plotting the Y-intercept:**
- Start by plotting the y-intercept on the graph. This is the point where the line crosses the y-axis. For this equation, it is at (0, 2).
3. **Using the Slope:**
- From the y-intercept, use the slope to find another point on the line.
- The slope \(-\frac{3}{4}\) means you go down 3 units and right 4 units from the y-intercept.
4. **Drawing the Line:**
- Use a ruler to draw a straight line through the points.
**Interactive Tools:**
- The interface includes tools for erasing and drawing on the graph.
- Additional functions like undo and grid toggle are available for convenience.
**Graph Details:**
- **Axes:** Marked with numbers, positive y-values increase upwards.
- **Grid:** Square grid with faint lines for precision in plotting.
**Action Buttons:**
- **Submit:** To finalize your graph.
- **I Don't Know:** To indicate uncertainty.
This exercise helps reinforce understanding of linear equations and graphing skills. Practice plotting accurately to develop a strong grasp of graphing techniques.
