Graph the linear equation. Find three
points that solve the equation, then plot
on the graph.
y=x+2

For the sake of easiness, you could select:

x = 1 => y = 1 + 2 =3

x = 2 => y = 2+ 2 = 4

x = 3 => y = 3+ 2 = 5

=> You can plot (1, 3), (2, 4), (3, 5) easily.

Hope this helps!

This is the standard form of the equation. You have to make it into slope-intercept form to find the slope, hence the name.

7x+2y=5

7x+2y=5.
-7x. -7x. (You need to have y=)

2y=-7x+5.
/2. /2. (Divide by 2 to get only 1 y)

y=-7/2x+2.5. (Final Answer)

The slope is -7/2.
