Describe and correct the error a student made when graphing the linear equation y = -3/4x -6.
A. In step 1, the y-intercept should be plotted at (Type an ordered pair.)
• В.
In step 2, the movement from (0,6) should be (Type whole numbers.)
C. In step 2, the movement from (0,6) should be
(Type whole numbers.)
D.
In step 2, the movement from (0,6) should be (Type whole numbers.)
• E. In step 2, the movement from (0,6) should be (Type whole numbers.)
F. In step 3, at least one more point needs to be plotted before the line can be drawn.
F. In step 3, at least one more point needs to be plotted before the line can be drawn.
The correct answer is F. In step 3, at least one more point needs to be plotted before the line can be drawn.
When graphing a linear equation, it is important to plot multiple points to accurately represent the line. The student may have only plotted the y-intercept, but there needs to be at least one more point plotted to show the direction and slope of the line.
