When you use a graphing calculator it is very accurate and if you graph by hand it won’t be that accurate and it’ll be a little off since you are the one who pins the point where you THINK it should be

Answer:

A graphing calculator is more accurate than graphing by hand. If the slope and/or y-intercept is a fraction or decimal, it is more difficult to accurately graph by hand.
