# Make sure the linear equation is in the form ''y = mx + b''. This is called the y-intercept form, and it's probably the easiest form to use to graph linear equations. The values in the equation do not need to be whole numbers. Often you'll see an equation that looks like this: ''y = 1/4x + 5'', where 1/4 is ''m'' and 5 is ''b''. | # Make sure the linear equation is in the form ''y = mx + b''.
