To graph the linear equation y = -3x + 2, we can start by plotting the y-intercept at (0,2) and then using the slope of -3 to find another point on the line.
Plotting the y-intercept at (0,2), we can then use the slope to find another point. The slope of -3 tells us that for every increase of 1 in the x-coordinate, the y-coordinate will decrease by 3. So starting at (0,2), we can move down 3 units and to the right 1 unit to find another point on the line.
Plotting these two points and connecting them with a straight line, we can graph the linear equation y = -3x + 2.
The graph should show a line with a slope of -3 passing through the points (0,2) and (1,-1).
