Graph y=5x+4

Problem

y=5*x+4

Solution

1. Identify the equation as a linear function in slope-intercept form, which is y=m*x+b

2. Determine the y-intercept by looking at the constant b which is 4 This corresponds to the point (0,4) on the graph.

3. Determine the slope m which is 5 This represents the "rise over run," meaning for every 1 unit moved to the right, the graph moves up 5 units.

4. Calculate a second point using the slope. Starting from (0,4) move right 1 and up 5 to reach the point (1,9)

5. Plot the points (0,4) and (1,9) on a coordinate plane and draw a straight line passing through them to complete the graph.

Final Answer

y=5*x+4
