Question 234531: Graph the equation using the slope and y intercept.
y=5/4x+6
so I think the slope is 5/4.
I think the y intercept is 6.
I need to know if these are correct and also how I graph it.
I think I plot the point (0,6) and then go down 5 and over 4 to plot a second point and then draw a line.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!

Yes, yes, yes, and almost.

The slope is positive 5 over positive 4, so you go UP 5 and RIGHT 4. Anytime you have a positive slope, the line will go up as you go from left to right. Negative slopes go down as you go from left to right.

You don't need help with your math, you just need confidence.
