Answer: The way i was taught, you look at your solved equation in y=mx+b form. The mx is the slope, and the b is the y intercept. Say you have the equation y=3x+2. You start by plotting the y intercept, on positive 2 (Green dot in example). Then, since this is a positive equation, (the slope doesn’t have a - symbol, so it goes up aka positive) we use the Rise over Run method and go 3 up (rise), 1 over (run) displayed in yellow. Then draw your line, displayed in red.
