Question

Graph the equation on the coordinate plane.y=2x-1

Answer 1

This equation is written in slope intercept form

Remember that the slope intercept formula is:

y = mx + b

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

In this case:

slope (m) is 2

y-intercept (b) is (0, - 1)

To plot this on a coordinate plane plot the y-intercept (0, -1).

To graph the rest of the line you can use what you know about the slope. Rise up two units and over to the right one unit from the y-intercept. You should arrive at the point (1, 1)

Then, again from the y-intercept, go down two units and to the left one unit. You should arrive at the point (-1, -3)

Now draw a straight line through the y-intercept and the other two points you just found

The image of the graph is shown below
