Question 335404: Which of the following is not a step used when graphing the equation y = x + 4 using the slope-intercept method?
Explain the correct order of steps needed to graph this equation, using the slope-intercept method.
Plot the y-intercept (0, 4).
Draw a line through the two points.
Count up 1 and right 3 from the y-intercept.
Plot the x-intercept (−12, 0).

The correct order is:

1) Plot the y-intercept (0, 4). This is given since b=4 (from y=mx+b)


2) Plot the x-intercept (−12, 0). You can find this by plugging in y=0 and solving for x


3) Draw a line through the two points.


Since "Count up 1 and right 3 from the y-intercept." refers to a graph with a slope of , but has a slope of 1. So this step is invalid.
