How to graph linear equations in algebra with slope-intercept

In this two-part math lesson you will learn how to graph a linear equation by using the slope-intercept form.

Slope-Intercept Formula

y = mx + b

where m = slope and b = y-intercept

Strategy:

First, identify the slope and the y-intercept.

Then, locate the y-intercept on the y-axis.

Graph another point by using the slope's numerator and denominator.

Finally, connect the two points to create the graph.
