Answer 1

How do you graph the slope and y intercept?

The slope tells you the rise and the run.

If the slope is ¾, the change in y =3 and the change in x = 4.

Plot the y intercept point

If the y intercept point is (0, +3), the slope tells you that a second point on the line is up 3 and right 4 to the point (+3 ,+7). You can go up any multiple of 3, and right the same multiple of 4, to find other points. To draw a good straight line, you need 2 points far apart.

Let's move from the y-intercept, (0, +3) up 12 (4*3) and right 16 (4*4) to the point (12, 19). Draw a line through the y-intercept and the point (12, 19).
