Algebra - Graphing Lines

We discussed graphing lines of equations in standard and slope intercept forms. When an equation is in standard form, you can find the x and y intercepts to graph the line. When an equation is in slope intercept form, you can graph the intercept and use the slope to graph another point. You can find notes here.
