The <strong>slope (m)<\/strong> indicates the steepness of the line, while the <strong>y-intercept (b)<\/strong> is where the line crosses the y-axis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To graph these equations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Start at the <strong>y-intercept<\/strong> point (where the line crosses the y-axis).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use the <strong>slope<\/strong> to determine the next points. If the slope is positive, the line rises as you move to the right; if it is negative, the line falls.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, for the equation y=x\u22124y = x &#8211; 4y=x\u22124, start at (0, -4) on the y-axis. From there, move 1 unit up and 1 unit right to plot another point at (1, -3), and so on. Repeat for all the equations to graph them accurately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/learnexams-banner5-958.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-246882\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Linear Equations Homework 3: Graphing Linear Equations by Slope-Intercept Form Bell: Date: This is a 2-page document!
