- For equation 1 (y = 2x - 3): Plot the y-intercept at (0, -3). Use the slope of 2 (rise 2, run 1) to plot 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 plot 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 plot 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 plot a second point, such as (3, 2). Draw a line through these points.
- For equation 5 (x + y = 4): Rewrite as y = -x + 4. Plot the y-intercept at (0, 4). Use the slope of -1 (rise -1, run 1) to plot a second point, such as (1, 3). Draw a line through these points.
- For equation 6 (y = 3): This is a horizontal line. Plot points where y is always 3, such as (0, 3), (1, 3), and (-1, 3). Draw a horizontal line through them.
