Graphing a linear equation using x and y intercepts, x intercept = 1; y intercept = 5

This video tutorial explains how to graph a linear equation using the X and Y intercepts. It begins with an introduction to the Cartesian coordinate grid, detailing the X and Y axes and their positive and negative directions. The tutorial then describes how to identify the X and Y intercepts, which are the points where the graph crosses the axes. Finally, it demonstrates how to connect these intercepts to graph a line, emphasizing that the line extends infinitely in both directions.

What is the purpose of the Cartesian coordinate grid in graphing?

• To measure angles

• To determine volume

• To calculate area

• To plot points using X and Y axes

What does the X intercept represent in a graph?

• The point where the graph crosses the Y axis

• The point where the graph crosses the X axis

• The highest point on the graph

• The lowest point on the graph

How do you determine the Y intercept from a graph?

• By finding where the graph crosses the X axis

• By finding where the graph crosses the Y axis

• By identifying the highest point on the graph

• By identifying the lowest point on the graph

What is the next step after identifying the X and Y intercepts when graphing a line?

• Determine the area under the line

• Find the midpoint

• Connect the intercepts to form a line

• Calculate the slope

Why do we draw arrows at the ends of the line when graphing?

• To indicate the line is a segment

• To highlight the intercepts

• To show the line continues infinitely

• To mark the endpoints
