Question 55498
Graph the following equation; calculate the slope, x-intercept, and y-intercept, and label the intercepts on the graph.  

   y = x + 3

This is in slope intercept form {{{highlight(y=mx+b)}}}, where m=slope and (0,b)=yintercept
It may help to write your understood "1" in fron of the x:
{{{y=1x+3}}}
{{{y=highlight(1)x+3}}}  The slope, m=1
{{{y=1x+highlight(3)}}}  The y-intercept, (0,b)=(0,3)  (it's at 3 on the y axis.)
Let y=0 and solve for x, to find the x-intercept:
{{{0=x+3}}}
{{{0-3=x+3-3}}}
{{{-3=x}}}  The x-intercept, (-3,0) (it's at -3 on the x axis)
I can't show you the plotted points, but I can show you what the graph looks like after you connect your dots.
{{{graph(300,200,-10,10,-10,10,x+3)}}}
Happy Calculating!!!
