Question

How Do I do this?

Answer 1

So this line is in what is called 'slope intercept form.' It looks like this:

y = mx + b

m is the slope (the angle of the line) and b is the y-intercept (where the line crosses the y-axis, the big line in the middle of the graph running up and down).

You can start by knowing guarenteed where the line starts, which is at the y intercept, since it crosses at 1. So go to (0,1) on your graph. Then from there we look at the slope.

The slope is easily understood like this: \[m = \frac{ Rise }{ Run}\]

So look at m, it's 1/6. The line 'rises' by 1, then 'runs' by 6. So go up 1, then to the right by 6, then that is the next point on your line.

From there draw a line between these two points, and you have your line (:

Answer 2

so its 1/6?

Answer 3

oh wait im dum

Answer 4

I don't undertand

Answer 5

sorry @shadow

Answer 6

This is the graph. You have the y axis (vertical, up and down), and the x-axis (horizontal, left and right).

Start with the y intercept. This is where the line crosses the y axis, which is at 1.



Then from there, look at the rise and run of the line, which is the slope. It is 1/6, so it 'rises' by 1 unit, then 'runs' for 6 units. So go up by 1, then to the right by 6, and you'll find the next point of your line.

Then draw a line between those two points. That is your line.

Answer 7

You may be confused since your image is only showing the top right section of your graph, so it'd look like this.

Answer 8

im still dead confused... not sure exactly who tho

Answer 9

hmm

Answer 10

What part are you confused about?

Answer 11

Yeah I've described the way to find the second point of your line. Remember, the objective was to 'graph this line using the slope and y-intercept.' In order to draw a line, you need two points to draw between.

Does that make sense?

Answer 12

tbh im more of a audible learner than a vision, Can you send me a yt video explaining?

Answer 13

You can try looking up videos on 'graphing slope intercept form.'

Answer 14

Khan Academy or something like that

Answer 16

btw @shadow Thanks very much.

Answer 17

You're welcome Daniel, and thanks Nininiko for sharing the video earlier (:

Answer 18

oh cmon cant u guys teach it in a simple manner?

#1) basically the + 1 is where it touches the vertical line (y axis, the one going up and down) and so u draw a dot there.

#2) from that dot, you move up 1, since the 1 is on top of the 6.

#3) then since the 1/6 is positive, you move 6 to the right. draw a dot there. repeat. (and do it to the other side of the starting point)

#4) lastly, play connect the dots, and boom its a straight line.

Answer 19

anything thats a y = (any number in front of x) + the X itself, + any random number, its always a straight line

Answer 20

a linear equation :D if u got exponents and all that, then its not straight line
