Do you know how to graph a line?

anonymous · Answer

no!

anonymous · Answer

Oh. Um.. Okay. The y- intercept is where the line hits the y axis|dw:1354668229360:dw|

anonymous · Answer

ok

anonymous · Answer

The slope is the angle the line goes at. Or, Rise/Run which is the number of squares counting up over the number of squares across. |dw:1354668306186:dw|

Up 3, over one. Which is 3/1= 3

anonymous · Answer

ok

anonymous · Answer

So to graph y= 1/3x + 3, 
1/3 is the slope. So, 1 up, 3 across. 
3 is the y intercept, so the line is starts on that point. 
Do you get it?

anonymous · Answer

ok noow i get it!

anonymous · Answer

Haha okay good :) Now you have to describe that in complete sentences.
