How to graph a linear function or linear equation

y= mx + b

The y is your output (dependent variable, range)
The x is your input (independent variable, domain)
You use these to plug in points to test if points are solutions of a line
The m is your slope which has to be written as a fraction to plot points using rise over run
The b is your y intercept



Negative Slope

Positive Slope
