Question 80600
y=3x-2


Remember y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept!!!


Now, the y-intercept is -2, so on an xy graph, go DOWN 2 units on the y-axis, and put a point.  The slope m is 3, which is {{{3/1=(RISE)/(RUN) }}}.  With your pencil starting on the y-intercept at -2, go UP 3 units, then RIGHT 1 unit, and put another point.  Connect the first and second points, and continue the line in each direction.
