You can put this solution on YOUR website! As in the pervious graph that I posted, this equation is in SLOPE-INTERCEPT FORM, y=mx+b. In this case  , the y-intercept is -1, and the slope m= = , which means that the RISE =1, and the RUN =2. Start graphing the y-intercept by going DOWN 1 unit on the y-axis. Put a point there. Now, with your pencil on this point, go UP 1 unit, then go to the RIGHT 2 units, and put another point. Connect the dots. It should look like this:
