A. Plotting graphs of linear equations Plot the graph for the equation: y = 3x + 4 Plot the (x, y) coordinates on a suitable graph. Linear Equations Linear Equations B. Finding a linear equation. Find the equation for the sequence: B. Finding a linear equation. Find the equation for the sequence: B. Finding a linear equation. Find the equation for the sequence: B. Finding a linear equation. Find the equation for the sequence: * * y 4 7 10 13 16 19 For x values between 0 and 5. Set up a table for x and y. y = 3x + 4 ( ) = 4 x 5 4 3 2 1 0 5 4 3 2 1 0 = 7 = 10 = 13 = 16 = 19 Substitute each value of x in the linear equation to find its respective value of y. y values are called dependent variables because they are dependent on each value of x substituted in to the equation. Key words y 4 7 10 13 16 19 x 5 4 3 2 1 0 0 1 2 3 4 5 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 × × × × × × y = 3x + 4 y = 3x + 4 Q: How does the + 4 in the equation tie in with the graph drawn? A: It indicates where the line crosses the y axis. x y 22 (0, 4) (1, 7) (2, 10) (3, 13) (4, 16) (5, 19) The general equation for a line is: y = mx + c The constant c indicates where a line crosses the y axis. Also called the y intercept. x y 3 2 1 0 1 2 3 -1 y = x + 0 y = x - 1 y = x + 1 y = x + 2 The general equation for a line is: y = mx + c The gradient m describes the rate of change in y as x increases. x y 3 2 1 0 1 2 3 -1 y = 1x + 0 y = ? x + 0 y = 0 x + 0 y = -1 x + 0 y = 2x + 0 Absorb mathematics: The properties of straight lines.

The general equation for a line is: y = mx + c This difference gives the value for m in the general equation. m = 3 y
