The equation \( y = 2x - 3 \) represents a linear function, which can be analyzed by identifying its slope and y-intercept.
- The slope (m) is 2, which means the line rises 2 units for every 1 unit it moves to the right.
- The y-intercept (b) is -3, meaning the line crosses the y-axis at the point (0, -3).
To determine which graph represents this equation, you would look for a graph that:
- Has a straight line (indicating a linear relationship).
- Crosses the y-axis at -3.
- Increases in value as x increases, reflecting a positive slope of 2.
If you have multiple graph options, look for the one that meets these criteria. If you need help identifying the graph, please describe the options to me!
