Question

Question:
Graph each linear function by identifying the slope and y-intercept. Label at least two points on each graph. Part a: y equals three-fourths x plus 1. Part b: y equals negative 2x plus 1. Part c: y equals x minus 4. Part d: y equals negative one-third x minus 2.

Graphing Linear Functions in Slope-Intercept Form

This lesson covers how to graph linear functions written in slope-intercept form y = mx + b. Students practice identifying the slope and y-intercept from four equations and plotting at least two points to draw each line accurately.

In this lesson, you will learn to:
• Identify the slope and y-intercept from an equation in slope-intercept form
• Plot the y-intercept and use rise-over-run to locate a second point
• Graph a linear function by drawing a line through two labeled points
• Compare the steepness and direction of lines with positive and negative slopes
