Graphing Lines Using the X and Y Intercepts

Today students learned how to graph a line on the coordinate plane using the x-intercept and the y-intercept. These are two special points, and fairly quick to determine from the equation of a line, because one of the values (x or y) will be zero. As was stated by Melissa, "x is zero when you find the y-intercept, and y is zero when you find the x-interecpept". (Nicely done, Melissa!)

Tonight's Homework: Lesson 11.5 ( 1 - 14 ). If you are planning to take the retest over combinations and permutations, it will be given in class tomorrow. Be sure to prepare for it!
