Question Details

Some methods for graphing equations work well with certain equations and some don’t. Knowing which method to select based on the given equation is a valuable skill. You have learned three methods to graph equations. These methods are:

y = mx + b
find intercepts
use a t-chart
 
A.    Post your response to the discussion board.

Using the following 3 equations, answer the questions:
11x + y = 4          x + y = -2          x - 2y = 18

How can you determine which equations can be graphed more easily using x- and y-intercepts, rewriting in slope-intercept form, or using a table of values?
Which method works best for you personally? When does it not work as well?
