Graph the Line
y = - 1/3x +2

Answer 1

Start at 2 that’s the b in y= mx + b. The (+2) is the y intercept. So you go to positive 2 on the graph and plot a point. After that, you go up 1 and over 3. You also go to the negative and go -1 and over 3 to the left. You go until it forms a line.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find two points to graph the line. The easiest two points to find are the x-intercept and y-intercept.

To find the y-intercept, we just need to replace $x$ with 0 and simplify:

$y=-\frac{1}{3}x+2$

$y=-\frac{1}{3} (0)+2$

$y=2$

The y-intercept is the point (0, 2)

To find the x-intercept, we just need to replace $y$ with 0 and solve for $x$:

$y=-\frac{1}{3}x+2$

$0=-\frac{1}{3}x+2$

$-\frac{1}{3} x=-2$

$x=6$

The x-intercept is the point (6, 0)

Now we just need to place our two points in the plane and join them with a line.
