Question

Using complete sentences, explain how to graph y = one thirdx + 4 using the slope-intercept method.

Answer 1

y = x + 4

Compare that to

y = mx + b

b = 4 and m =

The slope m always has three things:

1. A sign, either + or -
2. A numerator
3. A denominator (If the slope is a whole number is has denominator 1).

After one plots (0,4) then use the slope by rising 1 and running three to the right, this will land us at (3, 4). Now we connect the two points.

Simple enough. :)

Answer 2

Thanks a lot!! :)
