Graphing Lines with Intercepts

The video tutorial explains how to graph lines using x and y intercepts. It provides step-by-step instructions for plotting intercepts and sketching lines through these points. Two examples are given: one with intercepts at (5,0) and (0,-4), and another with intercepts at (-2,0) and (0,7). The tutorial concludes with a summary of the process.

What is the x-intercept of the line in the first example?

• (0, -4)

• (5, 0)

• (-4, 0)

• (0, 5)

What is the first step in graphing a line using intercepts?

• Plot the midpoint

• Plot the x-intercept

• Draw the line directly

• Plot the y-intercept

How do you plot the x-intercept (5, 0) on the graph?

• Move down 5 units on the y-axis

• Move left 5 units on the x-axis

• Move right 5 units on the x-axis

• Move up 5 units on the y-axis

What is the y-intercept of the line in the first example?

• (-4, 0)

• (0, -4)

• (5, 0)

• (0, 5)

How do you plot the y-intercept (0, -4) on the graph?

• Move down 4 units on the y-axis

• Move right 4 units on the x-axis

• Move left 4 units on the x-axis

• Move up 4 units on the y-axis

What is the x-intercept of the line in the second example?

• (0, -7)

• (2, 0)

• (0, 7)

• (-2, 0)

What is the y-intercept of the line in the second example?

• (0, 7)

• (0, -7)

• (-2, 0)

• (2, 0)

How do you plot the x-intercept (-2, 0) on the graph?

• Move up 2 units on the y-axis

• Move right 2 units on the x-axis

• Move down 2 units on the y-axis

• Move left 2 units on the x-axis

How do you plot the y-intercept (0, 7) on the graph?

• Move down 7 units on the y-axis

• Move up 7 units on the y-axis

• Move right 7 units on the x-axis

• Move left 7 units on the x-axis

What is the final step after plotting both intercepts?

• Draw a line through the intercepts

• Erase the intercepts

• Calculate the slope

• Plot another point
