Algebra Lesson 3.2: Graphing a Linear Equation Using Intercepts

Practice Exercises:

Find the $x$ and $y$ intercepts of the given equation and use them to make a graph of the equation.

1. $2x + 3y = 6$

2. $5x - 6y = 10$

3. $x + 2y = 3$

You can use this same method to graph equations of lines that are not written in standard form. Find the $x$ and $y$ intercepts of the given equation and use them to make a graph of the equation.

4. $-\frac{2}{3}x + 2y = 3$

5. $y = 4x -2$

6. $2x = 3y + 4$
