graphing linear equations: y = 3x - 4, etc.

[tonianne]

Can someone pleasee explain how to graph these three equations?

1. y = 3x - 4
2. y = 2x - 5
3. y = 0.5x + 2

...x and y being the variables. I really need help. Thank you!

Re: graphing help!!

can someone pleasee explain how to graph hese three equation:
1. y=3x -4
2. y=2x -5
3. y=0.5x + 2

These are in Point-Slope form. It should be second nature after a couple of practice problems like these.

1) Start at (0,-4). Move to (1,-1). Draw that line.
2) Start at (0,-5). Move to (1,-3). Draw that line.
3) Start at (0,2). Move to (1,3/2). Draw that line.

There are many illustrated lessons online which will explain, through worked examples, how to graph linear equations.
