How to graph a system of equations using the intercepts

The video tutorial explains how to graph systems of equations using intercepts. It begins with an introduction to the method, followed by detailed steps to solve for X and Y intercepts. The tutorial demonstrates graphing using these intercepts and addresses the challenge of handling improper fractions by converting them to mixed numbers. It includes examples and concludes with a discussion on estimating graph points, emphasizing the importance of understanding the Y intercept method.

What is the first step in graphing a system of equations using intercepts?

• Graph the equations directly

• Find the x and y intercepts

• Solve for y in both equations

• Use substitution method

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

• 11

• 9

• 0

• 1

How can improper fractions be made easier to graph?

• By ignoring them

• By doubling them

• By converting them to mixed numbers

• By converting them to decimals

What is the x-intercept of the equation 5x = 13?

• 5

• 13

• 3 and 1/4

• 2 and 3/5

Why is understanding the y-intercept method important?
