Graphing a line To graph a line, put a point at the y intercept and then use the slope to find more points. y=2x-5 First point at -5 because that is the y-intercept y=2x-5 First point at -5 because that is the y-intercept Next point here: 2 up and 1 over from the SLOPE y=2x-5 First point at -5 because that is the y-intercept Next point here: do it again: 2 up and 1 over from the SLOPE Now you try! |
