- For equation 1) y = 2x - 3: Plot the y-intercept at (0, -3). Use the slope of 2 (rise 2, run 1) to find a second point, such as (1, -1). Draw a line through these points.
- For equation 2) y = -3x + 2: Plot the y-intercept at (0, 2). Use the slope of -3 (rise -3, run 1) to find a second point, such as (1, -1). Draw a line through these points.
- For equation 3) y = (1/2)x - 5: Plot the y-intercept at (0, -5). Use the slope of 1/2 (rise 1, run 2) to find a second point, such as (2, -4). Draw a line through these points.
- For equation 4) y = -(2/3)x + 4: Plot the y-intercept at (0, 4). Use the slope of -2/3 (rise -2, run 3) to find a second point, such as (3, 2). Draw a line through these points.
- For equation 5) x + y = 4: Rewrite in slope-intercept form as y = -x + 4. Plot the y-intercept at (0, 4). Use the slope of -1 (rise -1, run 1) to find a second point, such as (1, 3). Draw a line through these points.
- For equation 6) y = 3: This is a horizontal line. Plot any two points with a y-coordinate of 3, such as (0, 3) and (1, 3), and draw a horizontal line through them.
