Answer 1

Plot your first point at 2.

Answer 2

From there, go up 6 and right 1 since that's the slope. (rise over run)

Answer 3

When I computed it i got the other point at -0.333 like this

Answer 4

What do you mean by other point? The x axis..? Don't worry about that when you're graphing linear equations.

Answer 5

Desmos graphing calculator says its something like (-0.333,2) but i dont know how to graph -0.333 on the x axis

Answer 6

Don't graph it that way. Just start from (0,2) then go up 6, right 1.

Answer 7

Also go down 6, left 1. Same concept.

Answer 8

What if the slope was a fraction like 2/3x+5. I know the Y would be on 5 but how would i plot the 2/3

Answer 9

slope: rise/run
slope: 2/3
rise 2, run 3
go up 2, right 3

Answer 10

Thanks. So if the slope is 4x, 5x etc it will always be rise 4 run 1, rise 5 run 1?

Answer 11

Yes!
