GIVEN A SLOPE VALUE(m) & A Y INTERCEPT VALUE(b)YOU CAN WRITE THE LINE EQUATION:
Y=mX+b
LETS ASSUME THE SLOPE(m)=5 & THE Y INTERCEPT(b)=3 THEN WE HAVE THE EQUATION:
Y=5X+3.
THE GRAPH OF THIS LINE FOLLOWS:
+graph%28+300%2C+200%2C+-6%2C+5%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+y+=+5x+%2B3%29+ (graph 300x200 pixels, x from -6 to 5, y from -10 to 10, y = 5x +3).
