So many methods and so little time! The efficient method of graphing a linear equation depends on what information the problem gives. Pupils learn three different methods of graphing linear equations. They graph equations using input/output tables, using slope and y-intercepts, and by finding the x and y-intercepts. The resource also challenges pupils to graph a parabola for comparison.
