Graphing Lines

1
We have used 3 different methods
for graphing equations.
1)using a t-table
2)using slope-intercept form
3)using x- and y-intercepts

The goal is to determine which method

is the easiest to use for each problem!

Helpful Hints!

 If the equation is in STANDARD FORM

(Ax + By = C),
 Graph using the intercepts.

 If the equation is in SLOPE-INTERCEPT FORM

(y = mx + b)
 Graph using slope and y-intercept or
 Graph using a t-table to find coordinates (whichever is
easier for you).

 If the equation is in neither form, rewrite the

equation in the form you like the best!
