How to graph a line in slope intercept form.

To graph a linear equation in slope intercept form we can use the information given by that form.
Its the ratio of the vertical change to horizontal change or rise over run.
The slope is 2 so you will rise 2 up and run 1 to the right.

For example y2x3 tells us that the slope of the line is 2 and the y intercept is at 03.
Use the slope m 35 to find another point using the y intercept as the reference.
This gives us one point the line goes through and the direction we should continue from that point to draw the entire line.

The slope tells us to go down 5 units and then move 3 units going to the right.
Slope measures the steepness of a line.
We can also tell the direction of the line from the slope.

Plot the y intercept on your graph.
Begin by plotting the y intercept of the given equation which is 03.

If the slope is positive the line will go up to the right.
From the y intercept 04 use the slope to plot your next point.
Draw a line passing through the points.

The y intercept is where the graph crosses the y axis.
