Graphing using Intercepts

1) Let x=0 and determine the y-intercept.
2) Let y=0 and determine the x-intercept
3) Plot both points. Connect them with a
line.

Differences between graphing by

using a table and graphing by
finding the x and y intercepts
When graphing by a table you need to solve
for y (Slope Intercept Form y=mx+b)
When graphing by finding the x and y
intercepts you do not have to solve for y
(Standard Form Ax +By =C)
