Question

How do you find the slope and intercept to graph `y = 2x - 3`?

Answer 1

Slope is `2`, y-intercept is `-3`, x-intercept is `3/2`.

Explanation:

Linear equations of form `y=mx+c` implies that the slope is `m` and the Y-intercept is `c`.

So here the slope is `2` and the y-intercept is `-3`.

The x-intercept may be found by letting `y=0` and solving for x.
But `2x-3=0iffx=3/2`.

The graph verifies the results calculated.
