Question

Can anyone please help me with question? This is algebra 1 by the way.

Explain how the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line might make graphing the line easier than making a table of values. When might it not be easier?

Answer 1

Slope-intercept gives you one point to start graphing from - the y-intercept (0,b).

From that point you can move to a second point based on the slopes value and sign.

If the slope is positive, you'll move up and to the right from the y-intercept.

If the slope is negative, you'll move down and to the right from the y-intercept.
