Question

Graph the equation.

Answer 1

When graphing slope, it is important to remember y= mx+b (slope formula). m is the slope, b is the y- intercept, and x, y are the coordinates. Starting at the y- intercept, graph the slope (rise over run). For the first question, the slope is 1/2. From the y- intercept, move up the y- axis one, and move across the x- axis two. The numerator represents the rise, while the denominator represents the run.
