Graphing

If you were given an equation of a line, could you graph it?  And if yes, what process would you use?

I'm serious.  Some of my kids can't graph and I want to know what process "sticks" longest, if at all.

I would put a number in for X, say 0, then figure out y. Then another number for X, say 1, and figure out y. Then connect then to form a line. Does that make any sense? It has been a LONG time since I've had to do algebra.

I remember something about slope intercept form too, but couldn't tell you exactly what that means!

Good Luck!

You totally got it, LaRae! Good job! Slope-Intercept Form is
y = mx + b.
