This guide explores the key concepts of graphing lines in mathematics, focusing on the different forms of linear equations: point-slope form, standard form, and slope-intercept form. It details how to derive equations based on gradients and specific points, as well as how to graph lines using x and y-intercepts. Additionally, it covers methods for finding the intersection of lines. Exercises are provided for practice, enhancing your understanding of these mathematical concepts.

7G Graphing Lines Forms of a Linear Equation point-slope form standard form slope-intercept form y – y1 = m(x – x1) y = mx + b Ax + By = C slope point
Find, in standard form, the equation of the line with gradient -5/6 and passing through (8, -7).
Section 7g - Graphing Lines Slope-intercept form x- and y-intercepts
Graphing Lines Slope-intercept form x- and y-intercepts y = mx + b 1) solve the equation for y. 2) plot the y-intercept 3) use the slope to find another point 4) draw the line
Lines x-intercept y-intercept
Graphing Lines Slope-intercept form x- and y-intercepts y = mx + b 1) find the x-intercept by letting y = 0 1) solve the equation for y. 2) find the y-intercept by letting x = 0 2) plot the y-intercept 3) use the slope to find another point 3) plot the intercepts. 4) draw the line 4) draw the line
Graph by finding the x- and y-intercepts. 2x – 3y = 12
Graph by finding the x- and y-intercepts. x + 2y = 4
See page 227 Where Graphs Meet…
Graph the lines, find where they meet x + y= 6 2x – y = 6
Use Autograph to find where the lines meet 4x + 3y = 10 x – 2y = -3
Use your calculator to find where the lines meet y = x + 4 5x – 3y = 0
