use slopes and intercepts to graph linear equations
You can graph a linear equation easily by finding the x-intercept and the y-intercept. The x-intercept of a line is the value of x where the line crosses the x-axis (where y = 0). The y-intercept of a line is the value of y where the line crosses the y-axis (where x = 0).
In an equation written in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
For an equation such as y = x – 6, write it as y = x + (–6) to read the y-intercept, –6. Helpful Hint

Additional Example 2E: Using Slope-Intercept Form to Find Slopes and y-intercepts C. –y + 3x = 5
Additional Example 3: Entertainment Application A video club charges $8 to join, and $1.25 for each DVD that is rented. The linear equation y = 1.25x + 8 represents the amount of money y spent after renting x DVDs. Graph the equation by first identifying the slope and y-intercept.
Additional Example 3 Continued The slope of the line is 1.25, and the y-intercept is 8. The line crosses the y-axis at the point (0, 8) and moves up 1.25 units for every 1 unit it moves to the right.
