Quick Graph with Intercepts
Description – Quickly graph a linear equation by finding the axes intercepts. By setting, one at a time, the x and y variables to zero you find two points of the line and then sketch the line.
Activities – Multimedia Tutorial
Objectives
- Learn that lines graphs can be determined by two order pair solutions to linear equations
- Learn that two variable graphs will always cross both the x-axis and y-axis
- Calculating the y-intercept value by setting x = 0
- Calculating the x-intercept value by setting y = 0
- Plotting the line given the two axis intercept points
