So the form is y=mx+b. When you this it is easy to graph because b is the y-intercept and m is the slope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

See just put x=0 and the y=0 respectively to obtain corresponding values of y and x. As we need only 2 points 2 plot a line

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If you need to graph it, plug in any number for x, then solve the right side of the equation. You will get Y= a number. So the x that you plugged in is the x coordinate and the y that you got is the y coordinate. Now you have 1 point on the graph, since you know where the y-intercept is you can just draw a line from the coordinates you got to the y-intercept point

You want another way to solve it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Here is another way.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You know where one point is because of the y-intercept. right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, the slope is how many y you move up for each x. in this case you move three units up for each x.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so move one unit to the right and 3 units up, put a dot there and then connect them

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the y intecept is 0,1 you know this because it is B in Y=mx+b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and the x will always be 0 since it is the crossing of the y intercept

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep! good job :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok
