This document discusses graphing lines using the slope-intercept form equation y=mx+b. It explains that m represents the slope and b represents the y-intercept. Examples are provided to demonstrate how to graph lines by identifying m and b values and plotting points. Students are guided in graphing several lines and then assigned independent practice graphing additional lines using the slope-intercept form.
