Plot y-intercept: Plot the y-intercept on the graph.The y-intercept is where x=0, so plug x=0 into the equation to find y.y=−(23)(0)−3y=−3So the y-intercept is (0,−3).
Find slope: Find the slope of the line.The slope is the coefficient of x, which is −(23).This means for every 2 units we move to the right (positive x direction), we move 3 units down (negative y direction) because the slope is negative.
Plot another point: Plot another point using the slope.Starting from the y-intercept (0,−3), move 2 units to the right and 3 units down.This gives us the point (2,−6).Plot the point (2,−6) on the graph.
Draw the line: Draw the line through the points (0,−3) and (2,−6). Use a ruler to make sure the line is straight.
Check line: Check if the line is correct.Choose a point not already used, like (4,−9).Plug x=4 into the equation to see if y equals −9.y=−(23)(4)−3y=−6−3y=−9The point (4,−9) lies on the line, so the graph is correct.
