Question

Graph this line using the slope and y-intercept: y = 1/8x + 4
(1/8 is a fraction)

Answer 1

Two points, (0,4) & (8,5)

Explanation:

In this equation, we can easily find the first point by looking at the +4 in this equation. This should automatically signal to you that the point is (0,4)

Now, we have to look at the 1/8x in the equation.

This 1/8 means that the slope is 1/8!

Now we use the slope and to rise/run to find our next point

We go up 1 from 4 (this is the rise) to get to 5 on the y-axis

Next, we go over 8 horizontally to get to 8 for your x-axis point.

So therefore, our next point is, (8,5)

You can use this rise/run system infinitely and is very useful
