Graphing Intercepts With a Bottle

(used when graphing x- and y-intercepts) Example: y = 3x - 2 (used when graphing the y-int. + using slope to graph 2nd point.) Example: y - 5 = 3(x - 4). Convert to: y - 5 = 3x - 12 +5 y = 3x - 7

A blurry image shows a bottle placed between someone’s feet, with handwritten algebra notes and arrows pointing to it. The notes explain graphing x- and y-intercepts, while the bottle humorously represents the missing or confusing step in converting an equation. People send it as a reaction to awkward math explanations, confusing instructions, or an unexpected object standing in for a solution.
