Chapter 4, Problem 1PT

To determine

To plot:The graph of the equation.

Answer to Problem 1PT

The graph of the equation is given below.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The equation of the line is $y=2x-3$

Calculation:

The equation of the line $y=2x-3$ can be written as

  $\begin{array}{l}\frac{-2}{3}x+\frac{y}{3}=-\frac{3}{3}\\ \frac{2}{3}x-\frac{1}{3}y=1\end{array}$

This form of the equation shows the x- and and y - intercepts of the line. The line meets the x- axis at point $\left(1.5,0\right)$ and the y- axis at point $\left(0,-3\right)$ .

Join these two points and get the plot of the equation of line.

Plot this equation on the Cartesian plane.
