How To Graph A Linear Equation, Part 1
Make a table of values Choose values for x or y Substitute into the equation and solve for the
other variable Make ordered pairs out of the values in the
table Graph the points and draw a line through
them

About Slope
The slope of a line is its steepness or slant. Positively-sloped lines are uphill from left to
right. Negatively-sloped lines are downhill from left
to right. Horizontal lines have zero slope. Vertical lines have undefined slope.

Definition
A linear equation in slope-intercept form can be written in the form
Where m represents the slope of the line and (0, b) is the y-intercept.
y mx b

How To Graph A Linear Equation, Part 2
Write the equation in slope-intercept form. Graph the y-intercept (0, b) Use the slope m to “rise” and “run” from the
y-intercept to another point on the graph.

About Horizontal and Vertical Lines
The equation of every horizontal line is y = k, where k is some number. Horizontal lines have zero slope.
The equation of every vertical line is x = h, where h is some number. Vertical lines have undefined slope.

Find the slope of the line and sketch the graph:
x + 3y = -6
4x – y = 4

About Parallel and Perpendicular Lines
If two lines in the plane are parallel (do not intersect), the lines have equal slopes.
If two lines in the plane are perpendicular (meet at a 90-degree angle), the lines have “opposite-reciprocal” slopes.

Parallel, Perpendicular or Neither?
2x + 5y = -7 and 5x – 2y = 1 3x = y and 2y – 6x = 5 2x + 5y = -8 and 6 + 2x = 5y

How to Find the Equation of a Line (continued)
If you are told that your line is parallel or perpendicular to a given line, find the slope of that line.
If the lines are parallel, use that slope. If the lines are perpendicular, use the
opposite reciprocal of that slope. Use point-slope form to find your equation.
