The equation $y = 2x + 3$ represents a linear equation, where:

• The slope ($m$) is $2$, indicating the line rises 2 units for every 1 unit it moves to the right.
• The y-intercept ($b$) is $3$, meaning the line crosses the y-axis at $(0, 3)$.

Key Points for the Graph:

1. Start at the y-intercept: $(0, 3)$.
2. Use the slope $2$ (or $\frac{2}{1}$) to find more points:
   • From $(0, 3)$, move up 2 units and right 1 unit to $(1, 5)$.
   • Alternatively, move down 2 units and left 1 unit to $(-1, 1)$.
3. Draw a straight line through these points.

Graph Description:

The line will be upward sloping, passing through the points $(0, 3)$, $(1, 5)$, $(-1, 1)$, and others along the same trend.
