Graphing in Standard Form

Overview

Goal. Graph equations in standard form by the intercept method, recognize horizontal and vertical lines, and test whether a point belongs to a graph.

Standard form (definition). A linear equation written Ax + By = C, where A, B, and C are integers and A and B are not both zero.

Standard form Ax + By = C, the intercept method, horizontal and vertical lines.
