To graph the function y = 3x + 7, we can start by plotting a few points and then connecting them to form a straight line.
Let's choose some x-values and calculate the corresponding y-values:
When x = 0:
y = 3(0) + 7
y = 0 + 7
y = 7
Point: (0, 7)
When x = 1:
y = 3(1) + 7
y = 3 + 7
y = 10
Point: (1, 10)
When x = -1:
y = 3(-1) + 7
y = -3 + 7
y = 4
Point: (-1, 4)
Plot these points on a graph and connect them with a straight line. The line should have a slope of 3 (rise of 3 for every run of 1) and a y-intercept of 7.
The graph should look like a straight line with a positive slope passing through the points (0, 7), (1, 10), and (-1, 4).
