Graphing lines in standard form worksheet
Two ways in. Solve for y and graph from the slope and intercept, or set x to zero and then y to zero to get the two intercepts and join them. Equations like y = -4 or 2x = 4 are horizontal or vertical lines. The key gives the slope and y-intercept, or names the horizontal or vertical line.
Not quite the one you need? Same words, different skill:
- Standard Form of a Line (Algebra 1). Ax + By = C, with A positive and whole.
- Writing Linear Equations (Algebra 1). Slope-intercept, point-slope and standard form.
- Vertex Form of a Parabola (Algebra 1). y = a(x - h)² + k, both directions.
- Equations of Circles (Algebra 2). Center and radius, both directions.
- Ellipses and Hyperbolas (Algebra 2). Standard form from the center and axes.

How to do these
Graph
- Set x = 0: 3y = 6, so y = 2.
- Set y = 0: 2x = 6, so x = 3.
- Join (0, 2) and (3, 0).
The answer is slope , -intercept .
Where students go wrong
Reading A as the slope. In standard form the slope is -A/B, and the sign flip is where most of the wrong lines come from.
Also called graphing Ax + By = C, standard form graphing or graphing using intercepts.
What you can put on this worksheet
- From standard form
- → slope , -intercept
- Horizontal and vertical lines
- Graph → A horizontal line through
- Graph a line from its intercepts
- Graph using the intercepts: → -intercept , -intercept
