Graph the equation y = 2x + 1. Clearly indicate the y-intercept and use the slope to find at least one other point on the line. Graph the equation y = -½x + 3. Clearly indicate the y-intercept and use the slope to find at least one other point on the line. Graph the equation y = -3x - 2. Clearly indicate the y-intercept and use the slope to find at least one other point on the line.
