Lesson 6: Graphing slope-intercept equationsGraphing lines from slope-intercept form review
Slope intercept form is y=mx+b, where m is slope and b is the y-intercept. We can use this form of a linear equation to draw the graph of that equation on the x-y coordinate plane.
Slope intercept form is , where is slope and is the -intercept.
Slope-intercept form is nice when you're drawing graphs.
For example, imagine we're given the equation and asked to graph it.
Straight from the equation, we know the -intercept is .
And we know the slope is .
So, for every one unit we go to the right, we must go up two units:
Here is our final graph:
