y = 2x - 3

y = 2x - 3

y = 2x - 3

What’s this?

y = 2x - 3

It’s a Linear Equation!

y = 2x - 3

I wonder what form it’s in!

y = 2x - 3

It’s in something called slope intercept form.

y = 2x - 3

It’s in something called slope intercept form.

What’s the formula?

y = 2x - 3

The Slope Intercept formula is:

y = mx + b

y = 2x - 3

The Slope Intercept formula is:

y = mx + b

m = the slope of a line

y = 2x - 3

The Slope Intercept formula is:

y = mx + b

m = the slope of a line

y = 2x - 3

The Slope Intercept formula is:

y = mx + b

m = the slope of a line

B is where the line passes through the y

axis

y = 2x - 3

The Slope Intercept formula is:

y = mx + b

m = the slope of a line

B is when the line passes through the y

axis

y = 2x - 3

You know what b is. Now you can put the y

- intercept on your graph.

y = 2x - 3

The y - intercept

is - 3.

y = 2x - 3

What’s next?

y = 2x - 3

Now you have to to look at mwhich in thiscase is equal

to 2.

y = 2x - 3

Remember. The slope is the rise over fun.

y = 2x - 3

Now you go up two and over one. (2/1)

y = 2x - 3

Now you go up two points and over one.

y = 2x - 3

Now connect the dots with a line. Don’t forget to add arrows at the end of the line to show that it is continuous!

That’s how to graph a Linear Equation!
