Graph this line using slope ​

Slope = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

y = m x +b

the slope is m

The y-intercept is (0, b)

_____________________

y = 2x +4 (yellow line)

The slope = 2 = 2/1 = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

The y-intercept is (0, 4)

x= 0

y = 4

First draw the point (0, 4)

x= 0

y = 4

- Since the slope is 2 = variation in y / variation in x

From (0,4) the next point could be 1 more in x and 2 more in y (1, 6)

To continue

From (1,6) the next point could be 1 more in x and 2 more in y (2, 8)

From (2,8) the next point could be 1 more in x and 2 more in y (3, 10)

From (3,10) the next point could be 1 more in x and 2 more in y (4, 12)

___________________________________________

You only have the positive part so you won't need this

From (0,4) the next point could be 1 less in x and 2 less in y (-1, 2)

To continue

From (-1, 2) the next point could be 1 less in x and 2 less in y (-2, 0)
