 Answer by stanbon(75887)      (Show Source): 
You can  put this solution on YOUR website! How do I graph the equation using the slope and the y-intercept  
y = 9/7x + 8 
------------------ 
The intercept is 8 so put a point at (0,8) on the y-axis. 
------------------ 
The slope is 9/7 which means y increases 9 when x increases 7. 
-------------------- 
Put your pencil at (0,8) 
Move it 7 to the right to (7,8) 
Then move it 9 up to (7,17). 
Put a point at (7,17) 
Draw a line thru (0,8) and (7,17) 
That is your graph. 
Cheers, 
Stan H.
