Draw the graph of the line with the given slope and y intercept. $m = 2 , b = - 6$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The equation of the line is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. 
Substituting m=2 and b=-6 in the equation, we get y = 2x - 6 
To graph the line, start at the y-intercept which is -6, and plot a point. Then, use the slope of 2 to find another point. From the y-intercept (-6), move up 2 units and to the right 1 unit to get the point (1, -4). Draw a straight line through these two points to get the graph, which matches option B.
