Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

If we have a linear equation of the form

$y=mx+b$

then m = slope and b = y-intercept.

Now in our case, we have

$y=2x+3$

which means that slope = 2 and y-intercept = 3

Therefore, we graph a line that has a slope of 2 and a y-intercept of 3.

A slope of 2 means that for every step you take to the right on a graph, you move 2 steps up to get to a point on the line.

The y-intercept of 3 means that the line passes through the point (0, 3).

Using these two facts about the line, we draw the following line.

From the above plot, we can clearly see that the line has a slope of 2 and a y-intercept of 3 - the same line described by y = 2x + 3.
