Question 184549: I need help. It says to use the slope intercept form to graph the equation.
y=4/5x-3
Answer by Fombitz(32388)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! First, graph the intercept, when x=0, y=-3.

.
Next use the slope.
The slope is the number of units of rise (y) for each unit of run (x) for your line.
So for every positive 1 step in x, you take a positive 4/5 step in y.
More practically, for every 5 positive steps in x, you take 4 positive steps in y.
.
.
.
Start at (0,-3), 5 steps in x and 4 steps in y would then take you to another point (0+5,-3+4)=(5,1)
.
.
.
Graph that point and connect the line through those points.
