1) y = 2x
- Y-intercept: (0, 0)
- Slope: 2 (rise 2, run 1)
- Plot (0, 0), then go up 2 and right 1 to plot (1, 2), draw line.
2) y = -5x
- Y-intercept: (0, 0)
- Slope: -5 (rise -5, run 1)
- Plot (0, 0), then go down 5 and right 1 to plot (1, -5), draw line.
3) y = (2/5)x
- Y-intercept: (0, 0)
- Slope: 2/5 (rise 2, run 5)
- Plot (0, 0), then go up 2 and right 5 to plot (5, 2), draw line.
4) y = x + 2
- Y-intercept: (0, 2)
- Slope: 1 (rise 1, run 1)
- Plot (0, 2), then go up 1 and right 1 to plot (1, 3), draw line.
5) y = x - 3
- Y-intercept: (0, -3)
- Slope: 1 (rise 1, run 1)
- Plot (0, -3), then go up 1 and right 1 to plot (1, -2), draw line.
6) y = 2x - 1
- Y-intercept: (0, -1)
- Slope: 2 (rise 2, run 1)
- Plot (0, -1), then go up 2 and right 1 to plot (1, 1), draw line.
7) y = -4x + 1
- Y-intercept: (0, 1)
- Slope: -4 (rise -4, run 1)
- Plot (0, 1), then go down 4 and right 1 to plot (1, -3), draw line.
8) y = (1/2)x - 2
- Y-intercept: (0, -2)
- Slope: 1/2 (rise 1, run 2)
- Plot (0, -2), then go up 1 and right 2 to plot (2, -1), draw line.
9) y = (-5/2)x + 3
- Y-intercept: (0, 3)
- Slope: -5/2 (rise -5, run 2)
- Plot (0, 3), then go down 5 and right 2 to plot (2, -2), draw line.
