2. PLOTTING POINTS
Remember when plotting points you always start at the origin.
Next you go left (if x-coordinate is negative) or right (if x-coordinate is positive.
Then you go up (if y-coordinate is positive) or down (if y-coordinate is negative) B C A D
Plot these 4 points
A (3, -4), B (5, 6), C (-4, 5) and D (-7, -5)

3. X AND Y INTERCEPTS
The x-intercept is the x-coordinate of a point where the graph crosses the x-axis.
The y-intercept is the y-coordinate of a point where the graph crosses the y-axis.
The x-intercept would be 4 and is located at the point (4, 0).
The y-intercept is 3 and is located at the point (0, 3).

4. GRAPHING LINES BY MAKING A TABLE
I could refer to the table method by input-output table or x-y table. For now I want you to include three values in your table. A negative number, zero, and a positive number.
Graph y = x + 2
INPUT (X)
OUTPUT (Y) -1 1
By making a table it gives me three points, in this case ____________________

5. Plot (-2, -4), (0, 2) and (1, 5)
Then draw the line. Make sure your line covers the graph and has arrows on both ends. Be sure to use a ruler.
