can  you  explain  me  to  me  how  to  graph  slopes? example:slope 6 intercept  20  y=6x+20

*

anonymous · Answer

The slope describes the rise over the run type of path that each point follows, and the 20 describes the y intercept

anonymous · Answer

Probably one of the simplest methods to draw the graph would be to find the x and the y intercepts

anonymous · Answer

Are you familiar with being able to do that?

anonymous · Answer

yes

anonymous · Answer

I know  that  part but  the  I  don't get  the  part  where  I  move  over  and    go  down  or  up  I  forgot  what   to  do.

anonymous · Answer

As long as you are able to get two points from the equation, then you can draw the graph, this being one way to draw a graph when given a formula like this

anonymous · Answer

What you are talking about is the slope when you have a point on the graph. The slope is the 6 and describes the rise over the run of how the graph moves

anonymous · Answer

Rise being the increase or decrease in the y direction and the run being the increase or decrease in the x direction

anonymous · Answer

ohh okay is  there  suppose to  be  1  under  the  6 since  its the  slope

anonymous · Answer

Yes exactly

@jashi34  we don't graph the slope, we graph the line, and that line "slant" the amount of slope
All you have to do is jot down the equation of the line, then, let x =0 to have y, and let y =0 to have x. Link 2 points, you get the graph with the slope you want

anonymous · Answer

so  I just  graph  6 and 20

amistre64 · Answer

y=6x+20 ;  when x=0, y=20,  the point (0,20) is plotted

you say your confused how to use the slope to find another point.  think of the slope as a fraction:  6/1  which relates to (the change in y) / (the change in x)

the change in y .... y changes by 6 giving us:  20+6 = 26
the change in x .... x changes by 1 giving us:    0+1 = 1

therefore, another point on the line is defined as (1,26)

we can find many points on the line if we just follow the slope, they can be defined as:

the change in y .... y changes by 6n giving us:  20+6n
the change in x .... x changes by 1n giving us:    0+n

notice that this gives us the equation of y back to us:

y = 6n + 20 for some multiple of n is the same statement as y=6x+20 for some value of x.  later on you will find these to be parametric equation:

x = n
y = 6n + 20
