graph the equation y=4x+2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Place a dot at y-intercept (0,2). From that dot, go up 4 and over to the right 1 and place another dot. Draw a line through the dots.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That second dot has coordinates (1, 6)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Both are in format (x, y)

|dw:1353453848629:dw|It will look somewhat like that

thnks hw did you figure out the number though

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The first point (0, 2) is by definition of a y-intercept. The first coordinate (the "x") is "0". The "2" is from your value of "b" since your original equation is in the slope-intercept form of an equation: y = mx + b where b is 2. "m" is the slope which is 4, so we know to go up 4 and to right 1 (implied 1 for a denominator). So, we added 4 to the 2 in (0, 2) and we added 1 to the 0 in (0, 2)
