If the linear equation you want to graph is in f(x)


form or y= form, you can type it in here. If it is in
standard form or it is a vertical line, see Step 7 or
Step 9 respectively.

Step 4: To insert a table to your graph screen,


press /T. The table will be inserted to the right

The template for standard form of a line will
appear in the entry line. Be sure to include the
sign (if it is negative) with the values of a, b,or c.

For example, to graph the line


2x-3y=4, be sure to include a negative sign in
front of the 3. You can e from box to box on the
template.

Step 9: To graph a vertical line, repeat steps 1 &
