Example #1 This is an example of a linear
equationy = x + 8
All linear equations are functions. That is the value of y (output) is determined by the value of x (input)
The linear equation in two variables can also be called the rule.
In this case whatever x is plus 8 will give you the value of y

Graphing Since the results of a linear equations can
be expressed as ordered pairs, the linear equation can be graphed.
When a linear equation is graphed, all points on the line represent the solution set of the linear equation.
There are a number of ways to find the solution to a linear equation…for today’s lesson we will look at creating a table of the solutions…
![Page 4: Graphing linear equations](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062319/558beb54d8b42ab9158b45da/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Tables To create a table of solutions to a
linear equation do the following:1. Choose a minimum of 3 values for x2. Substitute the values of x into the
linear equation3. Simplify to find the value of y4. Write the solutions as ordered pairs
Let’s look at an example…
![Page 5: Graphing linear equations](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062319/558beb54d8b42ab9158b45da/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Example #2y = 2x – 1
x y = 2x – 1 y (x, y)0 y = 2(0) –
1 - 1 (0, - 1)
1 y = 2(1) – 1
1 (1, 1)
2 y = 2(2) – 1
3 (2, 3)
1. Choose a minimum of 3 values for x
2. Substitute the value of x into the equation
3. Simplify to determine the value of y
4. Write as an ordered pair

Comments How do you choose the value of x? You can use any number for the value of
x…however, you can make your life easy by choosing -1, 0, and 1, because you can do mental math and they are easy to graph.
You choose a minimum of 3 numbers because when graphed the expected result is a straight line. If you don’t get the straight line, then you have to go back and check your calculations…
![Page 7: Graphing linear equations](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062319/558beb54d8b42ab9158b45da/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Graphing Use the ordered pair from the table
to graph the linear equation. Again…when graphing the result
should be a straight line… Any point (ordered pair) on that line
will be a solution to the linear equation…

More Comments… Once you get the hang of it…this
concept is really easy…. However, like everything else to
become proficient you will need to practice…
It’s ok if you make a mistake…you can fix it…
The goal here is to keep an open mind and try…
Let’s look as some special equations that produce horizontal and vertical lines…
![Page 10: Graphing linear equations](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062319/558beb54d8b42ab9158b45da/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Linear Equations
All linear equations can be written in the form:
Ax + By = C This form is called the standard form
of an equation. At this level you are required to know
and be able to manipulate this form of an equation
![Page 11: Graphing linear equations](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062319/558beb54d8b42ab9158b45da/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Standard Form
Ax + By = C In the standard form of an equation:
A is the coefficient of x B is the coefficient of y C represents the constant
We talked about coefficients and constants in a previous lesson
![Page 12: Graphing linear equations](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062319/558beb54d8b42ab9158b45da/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Example #3 The equation 3x – 4y = 12 is an example
of an equation written in standard form. As we have done in a previous lesson, we
can write the equation in function form by transforming the equation as follows:
3x – 4y = 12
– 4y = -3x + 12
– 4 – 4
y = ¾ x - 3

Horizontal Lines
In the standard form of an equation Ax + By = C, When A=0 the equation reduces to By = C and the graph will be a horizontal line.
We often see this illustrated as the equation y = b.
In this instance, the equation has no x-value and the y-value is always the same number so that when the y-value is graphed a horizontal line is produced.
![Page 14: Graphing linear equations](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062319/558beb54d8b42ab9158b45da/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Example #4 – Horizontal Line
Graph the equation y=2 In this instance there is no x-value.
All the y-values = 2 To plot this line, starting at 0, go up 2
spaces on the y-axis and draw a horizontal line (as shown in the next slide)
![Page 15: Graphing linear equations](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062319/558beb54d8b42ab9158b45da/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Comments
Notice that when you graph the line, the line is perpendicular to the y-axis.
A common error that students make when graphing an equation like y=2 is that they draw the line parallel to the y-axis. That is incorrect!
A way to avoid this error is to actually plot the point before you draw the line.
![Page 17: Graphing linear equations](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062319/558beb54d8b42ab9158b45da/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Vertical Lines
In the standard form of an equation Ax + By = C, When B=0 the equation reduces to Ax = C and the graph will be a vertical line.
We often see this illustrated as the equation x = a
In this instance, the equation has no y-value and the x-value is always the same number so that when the x-value is graphed a vertical line is produced
![Page 18: Graphing linear equations](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062319/558beb54d8b42ab9158b45da/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Example #5 – Vertical Line
Graph the equation x = -3 In this instance there is no y-value.
All the x-values = -3 To plot this line, starting at 0, go 3
spaces to the left on the x-axis and draw a vertical line (as shown in the next slide)

Comments
Notice that when you graph the line, the line is perpendicular to the x-axis.
A common error that students make when graphing an equation like x=-3 is that they draw the line parallel to the x-axis. That is incorrect!
A way to avoid this error is to actually plot the point before you draw the line.

Comments On the next couple of slides are some
practice problems..
Do the practice and then check your answers…If you do not get the same answer you must question what you did…go back and problem solve to find the error…
If you cannot find the error bring your work to me and I will help…
