Question

Graph the line.
Y=2/5 x +5

Answer 1

You first point the b, in y=mx+b. The x point for the b would always be a 0 while the y is whatever the b is. Then up two, over 5. If it’s a whole number like 5x, it’d be up five, over 1. The numerator of a fraction for the slope will always be upwards or downwards while the denominator would be left and right.

Answer 2

Plot points at (0,5) and (5,7)

Explanation:

The slope-intercept equation format is...

y=mx + b

m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

Start by plotting a point at (0,5). This is where the line will intercept the y-axis (hence y-intercept). Now we need to figure out the slope...

Since slope is rise/run we can rise 2 from the point (0,5) and go to the right 5. Plot a point there. Then connect the two points and you get a line!

You can also use a graphing calculator or an online one such as Desmos.
