I understand that y = 2x + 3, but don't understand how you graph it
Answer provided by our tutors
"y = 2x + 3" is an equation of a line.
To draw the line you need 2 points, so to get those 2 points you need to plug values for "x" and calculate "y":
For x = 0
y = 2*0 + 3
y = 3
so, one point from the line is (0, 3)
For x = -1
y = 2*(-1) + 3
y = -2 + 3
y = 1
another point from the line is (-1, 1)
You can zoom in that part of the graph and see that indeed you can draw the line through them and get the graph:
