 Hello tutors. Probably the wrong mailing list, but someone might know.
I want to use matplotlib (or similar) to plot an equation in 
slope-intercept (y=mx+b) or standard form (Ax + By = C). As far as I've 
read and tested, you can only plot with a series of points. I could 
make two points out of those manually, but I was wondering if anyone 
knew of an easier way. Thanks.



You could just have your program compute the x- and y- intercepts, then 
plug them into matplotlib.  Am I correct in that?

Yes, you are correct. That's what I planned on doing if I couldn't plug 
the equation right into matplotlib.
