In order to graph a line from an equation that is written in slope intercept form, what do you plot first, then next.

O plot (b) first, then plot 9mo to rise and run to find other points.
O just plot the (b) on the y-axis only.
O plot (b) on the X-axis, then (m) on the y-axis.
Oplot (m) first to rise and run to find other points, then plot (b)

Answer:

first answer - you plot 'b' [on the y-axis] first, then use the slope m = c/d to go d units right and then c units up (positive 'c') or down (negative 'c')

Explanation:

plot 'b' [on the y-axis] first, then use the slope m = c/d to go d units right and c units up (positive 'a') or down (negative 'a')

It has to be the first answer (in spite of the typo here), because all the others are wrong
