How to use the incercept method to graph an equation in standard form, 3x - 4y = 24

The video tutorial introduces the intercept method for graphing, explaining its advantages over slope-intercept form when constants are divisible by coefficients. It covers the basics of X and Y axes as number lines, and defines Y and X intercepts. The tutorial demonstrates how to solve for these intercepts and plot them to create a line, emphasizing the simplicity of this method compared to rewriting equations in slope-intercept form.

What is a key advantage of using the intercept method over the slope-intercept form?

• It is the only method for graphing equations.

• It requires fewer calculations.

• It is useful when the constant is divisible by the coefficients.

• It is always more accurate.

What is the Y-intercept of a graph?

• The point where the graph crosses the X-axis.

• The point where the graph is at its maximum.

• The point where the graph crosses the Y-axis.

• The point where X equals Y.

If a point is on the X-axis, what is true about its coordinates?

• X is zero.

• Y is zero.

• Both X and Y are zero.

• X equals Y.

How do you find the Y-intercept using the intercept method?

• Set Y to zero and solve for X.

• Set X to zero and solve for Y.

• Set both X and Y to zero.

• Use the slope to find the Y-intercept.

What is the first step in plotting a line using the intercept method?

• Find the Y-intercept.

• Find the X and Y intercepts.

• Calculate the slope.

• Draw the axes.
