Can I replace my Calculator with Excel?

[JBShandrew]

Hi everyone,

I would like to know if it is possible to use Excel for algebra, and replace my calculator with Excel. I saw a video once, but cannot find it now, where some one used individual cells for graphing based off of formulas.

Can Excel be used to solve for and plot X and Y, as well as slope intercept?

If so, could you please explain in very simple steps how do do so, or point me in the directions of a URL that can explain it to me.

Thank you in advance.

I am a full time student and do not make it here very much. I can be reached by email: jbshandrew@comcast.net
