In this lesson, we will practice graphing linear equations written in standard form by finding the x- and y-intercepts. Although this method is great for some equations, it isn't ideal for all equations. We will look at three examples: a good example, an OK example, and a bad example. Without having to do much work first, we will discuss how to tell whether a specific equation is in the good category, the OK category, or the bad category and try another method. Designed for a first year or introductory Algebra course.
