Graphing 20 - Writing equations, intercepts, graphing, etc
In this lesson, students will learn how to write equations of lines, state the x and y intercepts, use the slope point formula, and graph the line. Using an example, the instructor shows how to write the equation of a line in standard and slope intercept form using slope and a point on the line. The lesson also covers how to find x and y intercepts and graph the line. With a focus on connections and application, students will practice solving equations of lines and checking their solutions.
This video puts it all together...how to write equations of lines, stating the x and y intercepts, using the slope point formula, graphing the line, etc. This is part 20 of a series of videos about graphing lines.

Staff Review
This video puts all of the concepts learned in the last few lessons together by writing an equation from the slope and a point on the line, finding the intercepts of the line, and graphing the line. Many skills are used in this lesson, and all 3 forms of a line (slope-intercept, standard, and point-slope) are used.
