Graphing a linear equation isn’t hard all you need Graphing a linear equation isn’t hard all you need to know is this: y=mx+b. This allows you to find to know is this: y=mx+b. This allows you to find the points to graph the equation. If you understand the points to graph the equation. If you understand this equation you can graph this way. Accountants this equation you can graph this way. Accountants make graphs using this equation to show income. make graphs using this equation to show income. Engineers, carpenters, and architects use it to build Engineers, carpenters, and architects use it to build and plan. Professors and teachers teach this to and plan. Professors and teachers teach this to there students. And finally programmers use this there students. And finally programmers use this to plan out how a computer or game will work.to plan out how a computer or game will work.

Importance to AlgebraImportance to Algebra

Graphing linear equations Is important to Graphing linear equations Is important to Algebra. Why? You can find the slope of many Algebra. Why? You can find the slope of many things like a ramp or a roof. This is important to things like a ramp or a roof. This is important to people who build things like carpenters and people who build things like carpenters and architects. Programmers use it to determine the architects. Programmers use it to determine the way a chip should work, like lining up the paths way a chip should work, like lining up the paths the program in the chip should take. So, when you the program in the chip should take. So, when you think of graphing linear equations you know that it think of graphing linear equations you know that it does have some sort of importance to your life if does have some sort of importance to your life if you choose one of the following careers.you choose one of the following careers.

Real Life ExampleReal Life Example

Lets say that an architect wants to make a Lets say that an architect wants to make a roof that slopes at a certain angle. He uses the roof that slopes at a certain angle. He uses the y=mx+b graphing equation to plan the slope of y=mx+b graphing equation to plan the slope of the roof. He wants the roof to slant at 2 to the the roof. He wants the roof to slant at 2 to the right and half down, which would be written as right and half down, which would be written as ½/2. The y=8 so the equation would look like ½/2. The y=8 so the equation would look like y=½/2x+8. This would show the roofs slant y=½/2x+8. This would show the roofs slant and see if it is the right angle. The equation is and see if it is the right angle. The equation is correct so he would have the appropriate slope correct so he would have the appropriate slope for the roof and can complete the roof.(graph for the roof and can complete the roof.(graph on next slide)on next slide)
