Q8. - Algebra 2

Question

Graph each equation or inequality.

 

$8. y=\frac{3}{5}x-4$

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The graph for the equation is:

Step 1 – Determining slope and y- intercept

The slope intercept form is:

$\begin{array}{l}y=mx+b\\ y=\frac{3}{5}x-4\end{array}$

Slope: $\frac{3}{5}$

Y-intercept: $-4$

Step 2 – Determining x- intercept

As, we have:

$y=\frac{3}{5}x-4$

We will put $y=0$:

$\begin{array}{c}0=\frac{3}{5}x-4\\ \frac{3}{5}x=4\\ x=\frac{20}{3}\end{array}$

Step 3 – The graph of the function
