How to graph y=1/4x-3.5

OpenStudy (ybarrap):

Do you see the slope in this equation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright so the equation your graphing is in this form... y=mx+b M is your slope!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1/4? @ybarrap

OpenStudy (ybarrap):

That's right!

OpenStudy (abb0t):

This is a line shifted down by 3.5 units.

OpenStudy (ybarrap):

Now what is the y-intercept? That is, what is y when x=0?

OpenStudy (ybarrap):

That is b in @BuiltByBama 's equation.

OpenStudy (abb0t):

m = slope b = y -coordinate value
