How to Graph a Line in Slope-Intercept Form?

Question

Slope Intercept form may be written as: y= 1/3x + 5

Answer 1

Answer 2

1. You start with identifying the y-intercept in the equation.
2. Then, you graph that point on the y-axis.
3. Then, you look for the coefficient of the variable (slope), in this case x.
4. Start AT your y-intercept and plot the slope using rise over run method.
5. Start AT your NEW point and continue using rise and run to plot out a couple more points on the line.
6. Draw a line through ALL of your plotted points, if using paper please use a ruler!
