Question 35397: How do you plot a linear graph with the equation of "y=x+2"?

Well we can write as 2=-x+y

Solved by pluggable solver: DESCRIBE a linear EQUATION: slope, intercepts, etc

Equation describes a sloping line. For any
equation ax+by+c = 0, slope is .

X intercept is found by setting y to 0: ax+by=c becomes ax=c. that means that x = c/a. 2/-1 = -2.
Y intercept is found by setting x to 0: the equation becomes by=c, and therefore y = c/b. Y intercept is 2/1 = 2.
Slope is --1/1 = 1.
Equation in slope-intercept form: y=1*x+2.

hope this helps,
lyra
