Given of the equation .

Since   then .

Find the y-intercept, by comparing the equation  with slope-intercept form equation y = mx + b, where m is slope and b is y-intercept.

y-intercept is 1. So, line crosses the y-axis at (0, 1).

Next find the slope.

Slope m = .

Graph the line using  point and slope.

1.      Draw a coordinate plane.

2.      Plot the point (0, 1).

3.   Find the next point using . Start at (0, 1), move down 1 unit and right 2 unit, then mark a dot and label it.

4.   Draw a line through these points.
