Question 417316:  How do u plot this linear equation: y=.15x + 10 
 Answer by scott8148(6628)      (Show Source): 
You can  put this solution on YOUR website! the line crosses the y-axis (intercepts) at (0,10)
 
 
the slope is .15 , so for every 3 units UP in the y-direction , go 20 units to the right in the x-direction 
___ or you can go down 3 units on y and then go to the left 20 units on x
 
 
going down and left from (0,10) takes you to (-20,7)
