Question 183326: 3.
I've always been terrible at drawing up graphs. I'm hoping that I'll be able to finally understand this better by seeing it action.
Graph the following equations; calculate the slope, x-intercept, and y-intercept, and label the intercepts on the graph.
y = x + 3
thank you.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Graph the following equations; calculate the slope, x-intercept, and y-intercept, and label the intercepts on the graph.
y = x + 3
-----------------
You need two points:
Let x = 0, then y = 3 ; point (0,3)
--
Let x = 2, then y = 5 ; point (2,5)
----
Slope = 3
x-intercept: Let y = 0, then x = -3 (this is the x-intercept
y-intercept: let x = 0, then y = 3 (this is the y-intercept
---------------------------------------------------------------
Plot the two points and draw a line thru them:
