Algebra 1a: Chapter 7, Lesson 2, page 309.

Graphing Equations

We can graph an equation, by building a T-chart of values for both x and y. You can choose any values for `x ` and `y` when making your T-chart. I like to use values like 0, 1, and 2. Make them easy and try to pick AT LEAST 3 points when graphing and equation. YOU MUST USE A RULER WHEN CONNECTING THE DOTS TOO!

Sometimes, it can be easier when building the T-chart to “solve for `y`” first, this just cuts down on the workload. Solving for `y` means isolating the `y` variable to one side of the equation and keeping the constants and ALL other variables on the other side.

Here are 2 good links from purplemath.com, the first about graphing in general (lesson 1) and the second about the T-charts and lesson 2!
