Graphing Guides

Start by choosing the feature you want to read from a graph.

Plot a line from slope and intercept

In y=2x+1, the intercept is (0,1). The slope is 2, so the next point is (1,3).

Find the roots of a quadratic

For y=x²−4, the graph crosses the x-axis at x=−2 and x=2. Substitution confirms both zeros.

Check domain and range

For y=√x, real outputs start at x=0. Both the domain and range are [0,∞).
