Describe and correct the error a student made when graphing the linear equation y=−
3
4x−6.

In step 1 the y-intercept should be plotted at (0,-6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that to find the Y intercept in any linear equation you need to use 0 as your X value, this means taking the formula in the y=mx+b form and replacing X with a 0.

Since the formula is y = -3/4x -6

We just insert a 0 insted of the "x"

y = -3/4(0) -6

y=0-6

y=6

So the y-intercept sould be placed in (0,-6)

That's what he did wrong when graphing the equation.
