Equations written in slope-intercept form follow a specific format.
y= mx+ b
In this form, m represents the slope of the line and b represents the y-intercept.
Below, we highlight the slope m and y-intercept b of the given equation.
y= 1.5x+ 0
The slope is 1.5. The y-intercept is 0, so the graph crosses the y-axis at the point (0, 0).
A slope of 1.5 = 32 means that for every 2 unit we move in the positive horizontal direction, we move 3 units in the positive vertical direction.
m= 3/2 ⇔ rise/run=3/2
To graph the equation, plot the y-intercept and then use the slope to find another point on the line.
