how would f(x)=-2+-3 look like on a graph
I assume you made a typo, and you meant to type
f(x)=-2x+(-3)
or f(x)=-2x-3
that would be a straight line with a y-intercept of -3 and a slope of -2
To graph the equation f(x) = -2x - 3, we can follow these steps:
1. Identify the y-intercept: The y-intercept is the point where the line intersects the y-axis. In this case, the y-intercept is -3. Mark the point (0, -3) on the graph.
2. Determine the slope: The slope represents the steepness of the line. In this equation, the coefficient of x is -2, which means the slope is -2. The slope indicates that for every increase of 1 in the x-coordinate, the y-coordinate decreases by 2 units.
3. Plot additional points: To find more points to graph our line, we can use the slope. For example, starting from the y-intercept (0, -3), we can move 1 unit to the right (since the slope is -2) and 2 units downwards to find the next point, which is (1, -5).
4. Draw the line: Connect the plotted points with a straight line. The line should pass through the points (0, -3) and (1, -5).
The resulting graph will be a straight line that slopes downward from left to right.
