Graphing 17 - Summary of 3 methods

In the 17th video of the series, the three methods for graphing lines are summarized. The first method is plotting points by making a table of order pairs, the second method is using the intercept method, and the third method is using the slope intercept method. The method used depends on the specific problem, and it is suggested to use the x and y intercepts when both the x term and the y term are on the left-hand side of the equation. The lesson concludes with examples of problems solved using each method.

This is a summary of the 3 methods for graphing lines. This is part 17 of a series of videos about graphing lines.
