I need help graphing this

=======================================================

Explanation:

The given equation y = (-2/3)x+1 is in the form y = mx+b

m = -2/3 is our slope

b = 1 is the y intercept

The y intercept is where the line crosses the vertical y axis. Because b = 1, this location is (0,1). So that's one point we can use to graph this equation.

Another point can be found using the slope

Recall that slope = rise/run

Since slope = -2/3, this means rise/run = -2/3 leading to rise = -2 and run = 3. The "rise = -2" portion tells us to go down 2 and then "run = 3" portion means we go to the right 3 units.

The "down 2, right 3" motion has us go from (0,1) to (3,-1). So (3,-1) is another point we can use. We only need two points to graph a straight line.

The diagram below provides a visual summary. It shows plotting point A as the y intercept, and then you move to point B using the "down 2, right 3" movement rule.
