Looking at we can see that the equation is in slope-intercept form where the slope is and the y-intercept is


Since this tells us that the y-intercept is .Remember the y-intercept is the point where the graph intersects with the y-axis

So we have one point




Now since the slope is comprised of the "rise" over the "run" this means


Also, because the slope is , this means:




which shows us that the rise is 1 and the run is 2. This means that to go from point to point, we can go up 1 and over 2



So starting at , go up 1 unit


and to the right 2 units to get to the next point



Now draw a line through these points to graph

So this is the graph of through the points and
