In this form, \(a\)\(b\) and \(c\) aren't as useful, though they give us a hint as to what the \(x\)- and \(y\)-intercepts are. We can still sketch the graph by following these simple steps:
  1. Find the \(x\)-intercept by making  \(y=0\), then solve for \(x\).
  2. Find the \(y\)-intercept by making  \(x=0\), then solve for \(y\).
  3. Locate the axial intercepts on your axes.
  4. Connect (no pun intended) the two points with a straight line.
