Question 1066829: y=2x+1 what does it look like on graph chart

y=2x%2B1 which is in the slope intercept form

y=mx%2Bb

Write it as

y=expr%282%2F1%29x%2Bgreen%281%29

Start at 1 on the y-axis:



The slope is the 2%2F1.  From that green point draw a line
that goes up the numerator of the slope which is 2 units
('up' since it's positive), and then draw a line to the right 1 
unit, since the the denominator of the slope is 1, like the vertical
and horizontal green lines below:



Then get a ruler and draw a line from the point where you began 
to where you ended up:
