DEFINITION Linear Equation in Two Variables
Slide 3Copyright (c) The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display.
Let A, B, and C be real numbers such that A and B are not both zero. Then, an equation that can be written in the form:
Ax + By = C
is called a linear equation in two variables.
A solution of a linear equation in two variables is an ordered pair that makes the equation a true statement.

DEFINITION The Graph of an Equation in Two Variables
Slide 7Copyright (c) The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display.
The graph of an equation in two variables is a drawing of all ordered pair solutions to the equation. For a linear equation in two variables, the graph is a straight line.

2. Graphing Linear Equations in Two Variables by Plotting Points
Slide 8Copyright (c) The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display.
The word linear means “relating to or resembling a line.”Because two points determine a line, to graph a linearequation it is sufficient to find two solution points and draw the line between them; finding a third point can be used to check accuracy.
PROCEDURE Graphing Linear Equations in the Form y = mx + b
1. Choose any value for x.2. Plug it in and solve for y.3. (x, y) is a solution to the equation.4. Find two more solutions (ordered pairs).5. Plot the points and draw the line connecting
them.

DEFINITION x- and y-Intercepts
Slide 13Copyright (c) The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display.
An x-intercept of a graph is a point (a, 0) where the graph intersects the x-axis.
A y-intercept of a graph is a point (0, b) where the graph intersects the y-axis.
PROCEDURE Graphing Ax + By = C
We can use the x and y intercepts to graph equations where x and y are on the same side of the equation.
PROCEDURE Finding x- and y-Intercepts
Slide 15Copyright (c) The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display.
Step 1 Find the x-intercept(s) by substituting y = 0 into the equation and solving for x.
Step 2 Find the y-intercept(s) by substituting x = 0 into the equation and solving for y.
