We all know that the equation of a line is Y=MX+B, but do you know what it stands for or how to graph it. The M represents the slope. The slope is how may times you go up or down, and how many times you go to the left or right. Here is an example of a slope, 3/4 that means I go up threes times and I go to the right 4.
The X in the equation is just what the X intercept is, you will only need to know that if yo are trying to find out what Y is. The B is the y intercept. It could be any number on the Y axis.
So if you get the equation Y= 3/4+ 6 you know that you have to mark 6 on your Y axis and go up three and right four, and keep repeating. Now you have your line.
