Question 224602
How do you graph a line


The simplest way is when you have two different points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), use these point to plot.


Here's an example:  One point (0,4) or  x1=0 and y1=4 and (3,1)  x2=3 and y2=1. 


The graph is shown below using these two points


{{{graph(400,400, -5,5, -5, 5, -x+4)}}}


There are other ways of graphing the line when given different characteristics of the line such as the slope.  



I hope the above steps and explanation were helpful and enough to get started with other similar problems.
