Graph y=3x+5

Problem

y=3*x+5

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 Here, b=5 so the line crosses the y-axis at the point (0,5)

3. Determine the slope by looking at the coefficient m Here, m=3 which can be written as the fraction 3/1

4. Apply the slope to find a second point. Starting from (0,5) move up 3 units and right 1 unit to reach the point (1,8)

5. Draw a straight line passing through the points (0,5) and (1,8) to complete the graph.

Final Answer

y=3*x+5
