Question 452251: I'm 39, back in college and taking Algebra. My least favorite subject. I'm at a 3.96 GPA and I can't figure out this stuff!
I can't figure out how exactly to graph out a equation. I have to calculate the slope, x-intercept and y-intercept and label them.
y=x+3

You measure on the vertical axis
and on the horizontal axis.
A straight line, as long as it has a slope other than
or infinity, will reach infinitely far on both
the (+) and (-) x-axis and the (+) and (-) y-axis.
That means any number you plug in for , you
will get an , and any number you plug in for
, you will get a .
When the equation has the form ,
= slope and is the y-intercept
The x-intercept is found by setting

x-intercept
The slope is
Here's the plot:
