How to graph a linear equation using the intercept method

The video tutorial explains how to graph an equation in standard form using the intercept method. It begins with an overview of different graphing methods, focusing on the intercept method. The tutorial details the concepts of X and Y intercepts, explaining their roles in graphing. It then demonstrates how to find these intercepts by substituting zero for the opposite variable in the equation. The tutorial concludes by showing how to plot these intercepts on a graph and connect them to form a line, providing a simple and effective way to graph equations.
