1 = y -2/3x From looking at this we can tell that it is linear which is in the form y = mx + c Let's tidy 1 = y- 2/3x to look like that: 1 + 2/3x = y y = 2/3x + 1 Then find some graphing paper and graph away.. i.e. Sub in x = 0 and find what y = ? y = 2/3(0) + 1 y = 1 So we know the coordinate (0,1), now do the rest for say x = -2, x =3 , x =5 Then draw a line that connects those points, this is referred to as "the line of best fit"
