Graph y=6x

Problem

y=6*x

Solution

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

2. Determine the y-intercept. Since there is no constant term, b=0 meaning the line passes through the origin (0,0)

3. Determine the slope. The slope m is 6 which can be written as the fraction 6/1 This represents a "rise" of 6 units for every "run" of 1 unit to the right.

4. Find a second point. Starting from (0,0) move up 6 units and right 1 unit to reach the point (1,6)

5. Draw the line. Connect the points (0,0) and (1,6) with a straight line extending in both directions.

Final Answer

y=6*x
