How to graph an equation?
Favorite Answer
2x is the slope. This is how much you go up or down by on the graph. 2x means that you will go up 2, and across 1 for every point.
So, start at +7 and go up +2, and add a point. Keep doing that until you’re done.
Hope this made sense.
Shift to 2x (Changes/doubles the slope to 2. Twice as steep. Goes up 2 for every 1 over)
Add 7. Point of insertion increases by 7. (Line should hit the y axis at 7, and the x axis around 3.5)
Hope I worded that well enough!
Plug any number in for x, and solve for Y
x = 0, y = 7
x = 1, y = 9
x = -1, y = 5, etc.
Plot these solution sets on the graph.
As others stated, you slope is 2, in the fact that slope = change y/change x.
Hope this was a little clearer.
from that point go down 2 spaces and right 1 space …make a point…continue to do down 2, right 1 two or three more times….-2 is the slope of your line…think of it in 2 parts:-2/1….those 2 values are usually called ‘rise’ and ‘run’…the traditional definition of slope is ‘rise’/’run’…
after plotting several points, connect them with a line…put arrowheads on each end of the line
