Graphing linear equations can be really easy if you take it step by step. Here are some important things to remember:

1. Get the Equation: Make sure your equation looks like this: $y = mx + b$. Here, $m$ is the slope, and $b$ is where the line hits the y-axis.

2. Plot the y-Intercept: Start by marking the point $(0, b)$ on your graph. This is where the line begins!

3. Use the Slope: From the y-intercept, use the slope $m$ to find another point. Remember, slope means how high (rise) you go compared to how far (run) you move to the right.

4. Draw the Line: Use a ruler to connect the dots and make a straight line.

5. Check for Accuracy: Make sure your line really fits the equation by testing it with other points.

Happy graphing!
