slope y-intercept

slope= -1

y intercept= +3

you have your x and y axis, x horizontal, y vertical.

you go up 3 marks on the y axis and make a point. and then rise over run (slope. which is negative 1 over positve one. so at the three where you have your point, you go left horizontally one space (in the negative direction) and then up one (in the positive direction. at that point, you draw your point and connect the dots.

Oh yeah, the graph just looks like a straight slant I guess. Like a slope. 😛 (slope intercept form: y=mx+b)

Where m is the slope, in this case 1 or 1/1. b is the y intercept, for x=0, y=3.

The line should be upwards at 45 degrees thru (0,3)
