Question

Explain how you would go about graphing this equation? What would be your first step and how would you go from there? Y=4x+6 *

Answer 1

Explanation:

First I would look at the y intercept. In a linear equation, y = mx + b, b is the y-intercept and m is the slope. This means that (0,6) is a point on the line since at a y-intercept, the x value is 0. First you should plot this point.

Next, the slope is 4, meaning that for every 1 unit to the right, the line rises 4 units. You can count 1 to the right and 4 up from the y-intercept, which gives you (1,10), a second point on the line. After this, you can connect the two points and there you go, you have a graph!
