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. \(2x = 3y + 4\)
