If you have anything that you're planning to graph, it's got to be an equation that has 'x' and 'y' in it. If you have an equation that has 'x' and 'y' in it and you're planning to graph the equation, then you've had enough elementary algebra to know how to solve the equation for 'y'. Do that first and bada bing, it'll be in slope/intercept form.
When you are trying to graph an equation.
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.
Yes
y=mx+b y0=mx0+b 5=3*2+b b=5-5=0 y=3x+0
y = 2x + 1.
On my graphing calculator, a TI84 Plus, I can enter the equation into the Y= (a button) and then graph it by hitting the Graph button.

A linear equation has the form of mx + b, while a quadratic equation's form is ax2+bx+c. Also, a linear equation's graph forms a line, while a quadratic equation's graph forms a parabola.
no the graph will be written in slope intercept form or y=mx+b

The equation of the line is of the form y = 3x + c where c is a constant. The point (4,9) is on the line, so substituting x=4, y=9 in the equation, 9 = 3*4 + c = 12 + c so c = -3 So the equation of the line is y = 3x - 3
Yes
Normally a quadratic equation will graph out into a parabola. The standard form is f(x)=a(x-h)2+k
A hyperbola is another form of a conical section graph like a parabola or ellipse. Its general form is x^2/a - y^2/b = 1.
The "form" only refers to how the equation of the line is written. It has no effect on what the line looks like when the equation is graphed. To graph a linear equation, no matter what form it's written in: -- Pick a number for 'x'. Use the equation to calculate 'y'. Graph the point. -- Pick another 'x'. Use the equation to calculate the new 'y'. Graph the point. -- Draw a straight line between the two points, and as much farther as you want to in either or both directions.
