Question 926179: Find the slope m and the y-intercept of the graph of the equation. Then graph it.
26x - 13y = 39
slope m =
y-intercept (x, y) = ( , )

Solve for y.

Slope is m = 2 and y intercept is b = -3. The y intercept as a point is (0,-3)

Let's graph.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

So starting at

, go up 2 units

and to the right 1 unit 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
