• 5
• Cannot be Determined

• slope: 5 y-intercept: (0,3) 

• slope: 3/2 y-intercept: (0,3) 

• slope: 4 y-intercept: (0,3/2)

• slope: 1/5 y-intercept: (0,5) 

The y intercept is AWESOME! It helps us to know...

• Where our line will end.

• If our line is positive or negative.

• Where to start graphing our line.

When graphing, what do you do after you graph your y-intercept?

• Find slope and start with your run(left or right) then to rise (up or down)

• Find slope and start with your rise (up or down) then to run (left or right)

• Draw a vertical line

• Draw a horizontal line
