This document provides instruction on graphing lines. It covers graphing horizontal and vertical lines given their equations, as well as graphing lines given two points, one point and a slope, or one point and an undefined slope. Examples are provided for each case, with checkpoints asking students to graph lines from given information. The document concludes with an individual practice section asking students to graph 5 lines from given information.
