1. Examples





1. Draw a line with slope = 3 and Y-Intercept = 4

Solution:
Step 1: Graph the y-intercept:
The y-intercept is `4`. So, plot the first point `color{green}{(0,4)}`


Step 2: Find second point by using the slope
`m="rise"/"run"=3/1`

`:."rise"=3` and `"run"=1`

From `(0,4)`, Plot the point that is 3 units up and 1 unit right.

We get the second point as `(0+1,4+3)=(1,7)`.

So, plot the second point `color{blue}{(1,7)}`


Step 3: Draw a line through these two points `(0,4)` and `(1,7)`



2. Draw a line with slope = 4 and Y-Intercept = -5

Solution:
Step 1: Graph the y-intercept:
The y-intercept is `-5`. So, plot the first point `color{green}{(0,-5)}`


Step 2: Find second point by using the slope
`m="rise"/"run"=4/1`

`:."rise"=4` and `"run"=1`

From `(0,-5)`, Plot the point that is 4 units up and 1 unit right.

We get the second point as `(0+1,-5+4)=(1,-1)`.

So, plot the second point `color{blue}{(1,-1)}`


Step 3: Draw a line through these two points `(0,-5)` and `(1,-1)`



3. Draw a line with slope = -5 and Y-Intercept = 6

Solution:
Step 1: Graph the y-intercept:
The y-intercept is `6`. So, plot the first point `color{green}{(0,6)}`


Step 2: Find second point by using the slope
`m="rise"/"run"=-5/1`

`:."rise"=-5` and `"run"=1`

From `(0,6)`, Plot the point that is 5 units down and 1 unit right.

We get the second point as `(0+1,6-5)=(1,1)`.

So, plot the second point `color{blue}{(1,1)}`


Step 3: Draw a line through these two points `(0,6)` and `(1,1)`



4. Draw a line with slope = 6 and Y-Intercept = 7

Solution:
Step 1: Graph the y-intercept:
The y-intercept is `7`. So, plot the first point `color{green}{(0,7)}`


Step 2: Find second point by using the slope
`m="rise"/"run"=6/1`

`:."rise"=6` and `"run"=1`

From `(0,7)`, Plot the point that is 6 units up and 1 unit right.

We get the second point as `(0+1,7+6)=(1,13)`.

So, plot the second point `color{blue}{(1,13)}`


Step 3: Draw a line through these two points `(0,7)` and `(1,13)`
