The key takeaways are that linear equations can be graphed by plotting points or using the slope-intercept form of the equation. Slope is also used to find the equation of a line between two given points in point-slope form or slope-intercept form.

To graph linear equations, you can either plot points by substituting x-values into the equation and finding the corresponding y-values, or use the slope-intercept form where y=mx+b and graph by first finding the y-intercept (b) and then using the slope (m) to graph the line.

To find the slope between two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2), use the formula slope=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1). This calculates rise over run between the two points.
