If the slope of the line is and the -intercept is the point , then an equation of the line in slope-intercept form is:
You already have one point on the line, namely the -intercept, so plot that point.
Select a different value for and substitute that value for in the derived equation. Do the arithmetic required to calculate the resulting value of . Create the new ordered pair using the value you chose for and the value you calculated for . Plot this new point. Construct a line that passes through both of your plotted points. Hint: When you choose a value for , select a small, non-zero integer value -- it makes the arithmetic easier and less subject to error.
