Use the Desmos graphing calculator to check your graph. Identify the slope and y intercept. Then, graph the linear equation. y=− 5/3x+4 y = mx + b m = slope b = y-intercept Begin with b. b= Move with m.m=
To graph the linear equation y = -5/3x + 4 using the Desmos graphing calculator, follow these steps:
1. Open the Desmos graphing calculator on your device or visit the website: https://www.desmos.com/calculator.
2. Once you have the calculator open, you will see a blank coordinate plane.
3. In the input bar at the top, type the equation y = -5/3x + 4.
4. As soon as you finish typing, the graph will automatically update and display a straight line.
5. To identify the slope and y-intercept, compare the equation with the standard form y = mx + b.
- The slope (m) in this equation is -5/3.
- The y-intercept (b) is 4.
6. You can move the line by changing the values of m and b.
- To move the line, click on the values for m and b inside the equation in the input bar.
- For example, to increase the slope, click on -5/3, then type in the desired value.
- To move the y-intercept, click on 4, then enter the desired value.
Remember to hit Enter or click anywhere outside the input bar for the changes to take effect and update the graph.
