You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the general slope-intercept equation is ___ y = mx + b , where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

the definition of slope is ___ (change in y) / (change in x)

to graph:
___ find b on the y-axis (this is the y-intercept point)
___ move m units along the y-axis from b (up if m is positive , down if m is negative)
___ now move one unit to the right (the positive x-direction) this is the "slope point"
___ draw the line (graph) through the two points


if the slope is a fraction (E/F)
___ you can go E units on the y axis and then F units in the x-direction
