Graphing Linear Equations By: Christine Berg Edited By: VTHamilton Linear Equation An equation for which the graph is a line Solution Any ordered pair of numbers that makes a linear equation true. (9,0) IS ONE SOLUTION FOR Y = X - 9 Linear Equation Example: y = x + 3 Graphing Step 1: ~ Three Point Method ~ Choose 3 values for x Graphing Step 2: Find solutions using table Graphing Step 3: Graph the points from the table (0,3) (1,4) (2,5) Graphing Step 4: Draw a line to connect them Try These Graph using a table (3 point method) 1) y = x + 3 2) y = x - 4 X-intercept Where the line crosses the x-axis X-intercept The x-intercept has a y coordinate of ZERO X-intercept To find the x-intercept, plug in ZERO for y and solve Slope Describes the steepness of a line Slope Equal to: Rise Run Rise The change vertically, the change in y Run The change horizontally or the change in x Finding Slope Step 1: Find 2 points on a line (2, 3) (5, 4) (x1, y1) (x2, y2) Finding Slope Step 2: Find the RISE between these 2 points Y2 - Y1 = 4 - 3 = 1 Finding Slope Step 3: Find the RUN between these 2 points X2 - X1 = 5 - 2 = 3 Finding Slope Step 4: Write the RISE over RUN as a ratio Y2 - Y1 = 1 X2 - X1 3 Y-intercept Where the line crosses the y-axis Y-intercept The y-intercept has an x-coordinate of ZERO Y-intercept To find the y-intercept, plug in ZERO for x and solve Slope-Intercept y = mx + b m = slope b = y-intercept Step 1: Mark a point on the y-intercept Step 2: Define slope as a fraction... Step 3: Numerator is the vertical change (RISE) Step 4: Denominator is the horizontal change (RUN) Step 5: Graph at least 3 points and connect the dots * * y = x + 3 Y | X 0 1 2 *
