First locate the point (5,-3) on the graph paper.
slope m = 2
slope = rise / run.
so slope = 2 means for every 1 step you take in the x-direction, the y will rise by +2.
If you take 4 steps in the x-direction then y must increase by +8.
So from the point (5,-3) take a few steps along the x axis and take twice as many steps up along the y-axis to get another point.
Draw a traight line passing through those two points.

the y intercept form is -13
OpenStudy (anonymous):
y=mx+b
OpenStudy (anonymous):
line equations have a point-slope form\[y-y_0=m(x-x_0)\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
That might come in handy

so y=2x-13 how to graph this??
OpenStudy (anonymous):
slope is rise/run, so with m=2 you go up 2 units for every 1 horizontal unit
