You could rearrange the equation in slope intercept form. Graph the y-intercept first. From the y-intercept count the rise/run (slope) and plot another point. Continue doing this until you have enough points to drawn a line. Ax + By + C = 0 Subtract Ax and C from both sides By = -Ax - C Divide both sides by B y = -(A/B)x - (C/B) where (A/B) is the slope and (C/B) is the y-intercept
