Okay, so the format is y=mx+b in case you didn't know that. M is the increase (slope) in the line. B is the y intercept (something like (0,4) There the 4 is the y intercept. So if I had a line where the y-intercept is -5 and the increase is 4 then the rule would be y=4x-5

The graph will be a line.
So that you can plot out the points of a straight line on graph paper.
When it is a linear equation.
This is a straight line graph with the equation, y = n where n is any positive or negative number.
To graph an equation that is not in slope-intercept form, you can use the process of finding points on the graph and plotting them. Choose a few x-values, plug them into the equation to find the corresponding y-values, and plot those points on the graph. Then, connect the points with a smooth line to complete the graph.
