How do you graph a line

The simplest way is when you have two different points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), use these point to plot.

Here's an example: One point (0,4) or x1=0 and y1=4 and (3,1) x2=3 and y2=1.

The graph is shown below using these two points

There are other ways of graphing the line when given different characteristics of the line such as the slope.


I hope the above steps and explanation were helpful and enough to get started with other similar problems.
