    Answer:

    Below

    Step-by-step explanation:

    So i can’t attach a pic but i’ll explain how to find everything you need to graph this.

    Find x intercept (the point on the horizontal line):

    Sub y for 0 : 0 = -3 + 2x

    move variables : -2x = -3

    divide by -2 : x = 3/2

    So the x intercept is 3/2 or to make it easier, 1.5

    Find y intercept (the point on the vertical line)

    Sub x for 0 : y = -3 + 2(0)

    solve for y : y = -3

    So the y intercept is -3

    Now to find the slope (rise/run)

    In this case, you first need to reorder the terms:

    y = 2x – 3

    transform : y = 2x + (-3)

    Identify slope : m = 2

    So the slope is 2

    Here is how to graph this equation

    Start from your y intercept which is -3 and count 2 spaces up, and then once space to the right. Keep doing that and it will give you all the points you need to draw your graph!

    Hope this helps 🙂
