&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Step 1:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;  Substitute 0 for *[tex \Large y] in the equation.  Calculate the resulting value for *[tex \Large x].  We&#39;ll call that *[tex \Large a] for now (until you have actually substituted 0 for *[tex \Large y] and have calculated the specific value for your given equation).


&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Step 2:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; Plot the point *[tex \Large (a,0)].


&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Step 3:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;  Substitute 0 for *[tex \Large x] in the equation.  Calculate the resulting value for *[tex \Large y].  We&#39;ll call that *[tex \Large b] for now.


&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Step 4:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; Plot the point *[tex \Large (0,b)].


&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Step 5:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;  Choose any number you like other than zero.  Substitute the chosen number, call it *[tex \Large x_1] for purposes of this discussion, for *[tex \Large x] in the equation.  Calculate the resulting value for *[tex \Large y].  We&#39;ll call that *[tex \Large y_1] for now.


&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Step 6:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; Plot the point *[tex \Large (x_1,y_1)].


&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Step 7:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; Draw the line that passes through all three of your plotted points.

*[tex \LARGE e^{i\pi} + 1 = 0]
My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it
