Get Slope-Intercept form.:
Graph the y-intercept:
Use the slope to plot another point.:
Connect the y-intercept and new point with a line.:
please give me a simple example
Sure! Let's say the equation in slope-intercept form is y = 2x + 3.
The y-intercept is the value of y when x = 0. In this case, it would be y = 3. So the y-intercept is the point (0, 3).
To use the slope to plot another point, we can use the fact that the slope tells us how much y changes for every 1 unit change in x. Since the slope is 2, that means for every 1 unit increase in x, y increases by 2.
Starting from the y-intercept at (0, 3), we can move 1 unit to the right and 2 units up to plot another point. So the point (1, 5) is another point on the line.
Then, we can connect the y-intercept (0, 3) and the point (1, 5) with a line.
