When you have the equation of a line there are many steps to graphing it. First you have to look at b, that is where you will start the line. For example, of the equation of my line is, y=-3x+27, you would start your line at 27. After that is done, look for the slope. The slope is the number and the x. That is called a term, because they are a group that can be added. The slope from our example is a negative 3x.
       Now you have to go down three and across 1 to make your line. You have to continue going down three and across one to complete that line. You can put little dots on those points to then graph your line. One you have all those little dots down, you can connect them to make a line. These are the steps to graphing a line.
