Slope Intercept

How do you graph a linear equation using slope-intercept form?

• Identify the slope and use the y-intercept to find additional points.

• Identify the y-intercept and use the slope to find additional points.

• Plot the x-intercept and use the slope to find additional points.

• Use the y-intercept and the slope to find the x-intercept.
