Question 24759
See my recent Lesson Plans in algebra.com on Graphing, especially the one abou graphing lines in slope intercept form.  This is what this graph is:


y = 1x + 2, the y-intercept is the number term, whihc is 2, and the slope is 1. the coefficient of x, which is  {{{(rise)/(run) = 1/1}}}.


Start by going up 2 units on the y axis, and put a point, which is the y intercept.  Then with your pencil still on the y intercept, move UP 1 and RIGHT 1 and put another point. Connect these points with a line, and it should look like this:


{{{graph (300,300, -10, 10, -10, 10, x+2)}}}
