This document explains how to graph a line using the slope-intercept form of a line, y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. It gives the example of the line with slope -2/3 and y-intercept of 6, so the equation is y=-2/3x+6. To graph this line, you first plot the y-intercept point (0,6), then find a second point by moving down 2 units and right 3 units from the first point and connect the two points with a straight line with arrows on the ends.

1. I’m going to show you how to
graph a line on the
coordinate plane using the
Slope-Intercept form of a line

2. y = mx + b
This is the general equation for any line in
Slope Intercept form.
The m represents the slope
And the b represents the y-intercept.

3. y = -2/3x + 6
We want to graph a line
with a
slope of -2/3 and a
y-intercept of 6.
So our linear equation
is
y = -2/3x + 6

4. So how do I do it?

5. Let’s set up the coordinate plane

6. Begin by plotting the y-intercept
at (0,6)

7. Now move down 2 and to the right 3
to find another point on the line

8. Draw a straight line going through those points,
with arrows on the ends

9. Congratulations
Now you see how easy it is to graph a line using
the Slope-Intercept form!
