Given an equation for a graph that is not horizontal or vertical, we can

sketch its graph using its gradient and y-intercept.
Suppose we want to sketch:

𝑦 =𝟐 𝑥+𝟑
is the -intercept, or
is the gradient, or the where the graph cuts
slope of the graph the -axis

The gradient is always

the coefficient of The -intercept is always
the constant, or the
number on its own.
