You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Manipulate your given equation so that it is in the "slope-intercept" form of
y = mx + b
where
m is the slope
b is the y-intercept at (0,b)
.
Once you know the m an b
Plot the point 'b' on a graph.
Then using the m (slope) find another point by thinking the slope as "rise/run".
.
