Graphing a Line Using the X and Y Intercept Method

This video tutorial demonstrates how to graph a line using the X and Y intercept method. It explains the process of finding the y-intercept by setting x to zero and solving for y, and finding the x-intercept by setting y to zero and solving for x. The tutorial then shows how to plot these intercepts on a Cartesian coordinate plane to graph the line.

What is the first step in the X and Y intercept method for graphing a line?

• Graph the line directly.

• Plug in zero for x and solve for y.

• Find the slope of the line.

• Plug in zero for y and solve for x.

When solving for the y-intercept, what value is substituted for x?

• -1

• 0

• 2

• 1

What is the y-intercept of the equation Y = -2x + 2?

• (0, 2)

• (1, 0)

• (2, 0)

• (0, 0)

What is the next step after finding the y-intercept in the X and Y intercept method?

• Check the solution.

• Solve for the x-intercept by plugging in zero for y.

• Graph the y-intercept.

• Find the slope of the line.

What is the x-intercept of the equation Y = -2x + 2?

• (0, 0)

• (2, 0)

• (1, 0)

• (0, 2)

What operation is performed to isolate x when solving for the x-intercept?

• Addition

• Multiplication

• Division

• Subtraction

Where are the intercepts plotted on the graph?

• On the x-axis and y-axis

• On the diagonal

• On the origin

• On the slope

What is the final step in graphing a line using the intercept method?

• Calculate the slope.

• Connect the intercepts with a straight line.

• Find another point on the line.

• Check the intercepts.
