Question

How do you graph `y=x-2`?

Answer 1

`m = 1 = 1/1` and `y`-intercept: `(0, -2)`

Explanation:

From the `y`-intercept form of the line `y = mx + b` you can find the slope `m` and the `y`-intercept.

`m = 1/1` and `y`-intercept: `(0, -2)`

Plot the `y`-intercept point `(0, -2)` where `x = 0, y = -2`

From this point, use your slope to move up `1` in the positive `y` direction and `1` in the positive `x` direction and place a point.

Draw a line that passes through both points. Make sure to put arrowheads on the ends of the line to show it continues forever.
