Question

Graph the linear equation y = 2x - 3

Answer 1

To graph the linear equation y = 2x - 3, we will start by plotting two points on the coordinate plane.

For the first point, let's choose x = 0:
y = 2(0) - 3
y = -3

So, the first point is (0, -3).

For the second point, let's choose x = 2:
y = 2(2) - 3
y = 4 - 3
y = 1

So, the second point is (2, 1).

Now, we can plot these two points on the graph and draw a straight line passing through them:

The line passes through the points (0, -3) and (2, 1), and continues indefinitely in both directions.
