Graphing Linear Equations: Intercepts Method
Steps to graphing a linear equation using the intercepts method:
Step 1: Find the x-intercept by setting y = 0 and solving for x
Step 2: Find the y-intercept by setting x = 0 and solving for y
Step 3: Plot the two points and connect
Making a table can help!
Create a graph using the intercept method to display the solutions to the following
equations.

Find the x-intercept and y-intercept for each equation, and graph and connect
them. Write the intercepts as (x, y) pairs.

The domain is all real numbers unless otherwise specified (last two questions).

Specify the range in set builder notation when required (last two questions).
