You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The original equation is $\"y=mx%2Bb\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The m stands for the slope, and the b stands for the y-intercept.
\n" ); document.write( "Slope is $\"rise%2Frun\"$ and the y-intercept is the place the line intersects the y-axis.
\n" ); document.write( "So, you start first by plotting (0,4) because that is your y-intercept.
\n" ); document.write( "Then count (if you are using graph paper) to up three and to the left two because you have a negative slope. The connect the dots and draw arrows on the ends of the line.
\n" ); document.write( "So, your graph should look like this:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"graph+%28300%2C200%2C-5%2C5%2C-5%2C5%2C%28-3%2F2%29x%2B4%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps! \n" ); document.write( "
