Graphing Linear Equations and Intercepts

The video lesson covers the graphing of linear equations in two variables, emphasizing that the graph is a line. It discusses the proof of this concept, although the proof itself is not detailed in the video. The lesson focuses on graphing using intercepts, explaining the process and when it is useful. It also provides homework help with examples of graphing using intercepts and other methods, such as using the slope-intercept form.

What are the three main parts of the lesson discussed in the introduction?

• Proof of linear equation graph, graphing using intercepts, and homework help

• Graphing quadratic equations, solving inequalities, and homework help

• Introduction to calculus, graphing using intercepts, and solving equations

• Proof of linear equation graph, solving quadratic equations, and homework help
