Ow would you would graph the linear equation y equals -2x plus 6?

Answer 1

y = -2x + 6

slope = m = -2 = -2/1 = rise/run

y-intercept: 6

x-intercept: 3

y = 0

0 = -2x +6

0 + 2x = -2x + 2x + 6

2x = 6

2x/2 = 6/2

x = 3

So we have two points (3, 0) and (0, 6). We can find another point using the slope -2/1.

Use the point (0, 6):

(0 + 1, 6 - 2) = (1, 4)

Draw the line that passes through the points (0, 6), (1, 4), and (3, 0).
