Graph y=3x+1

Problem

y=3*x+1

Solution

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

2. Determine the y-intercept. The constant term is b=1 so the graph crosses the y-axis at the point (0,1)

3. Determine the slope. The coefficient of x is m=3 This means the "rise over run" is 3/1

4. Find a second point. Starting from (0,1) move up 3 units and right 1 unit to reach the point (1,4)

5. Draw the line. Connect the points (0,1) and (1,4) with a straight line extending in both directions.

Final Answer

y=3*x+1
