| Algebra.Com's Answer #147872 by stanbon(75887)      You can put this solution on YOUR website! How do you graph linear equations with the slope intercept form? \n" ); document.write( "-------------- \n" ); document.write( "Example: \n" ); document.write( "y = 2x + 3 \n" ); document.write( "-------- \n" ); document.write( "Plot the y-intercept: \n" ); document.write( "Let x = 0, then y = 3, giving you point (0,3) \n" ); document.write( "-------- \n" ); document.write( "Note that the slope is 2 which means y increases 2 as x increases 1. \n" ); document.write( "--------------------- \n" ); document.write( "Draw an x/y coordinate system. \n" ); document.write( "Place your pencil at (0,3) and put a dot there. \n" ); document.write( "------------- \n" ); document.write( "Move your pencil 2 units to the right and then 1 unit up to the \n" ); document.write( "point (2,4). Put a point there. \n" ); document.write( "--------------- \n" ); document.write( "Dlraw a line thru the two points. \n" ); document.write( "======================================== \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( " |
