graph{y=2x+6 [-10, 10, -5, 5]} graph{2x+6 [-22.68, 22.69, -11.82, 11.82]}

Explanation:

  1. To begin, plot your y intercept on your graph. In your equation, your y intercept would be +6.

  2. Next, from your y intercept, you'll want to insert your slope. In your equation, your slope is +2 (or, 2/1). To do this, you're going to want to go to the left once (run) and up twice (rise).

  3. Continue this pattern and extend your line through your graph.

You should get something similar to the graph above.
