Presentation Index Graphing Equations of Lines QUIZ: Graphing Equations of Lines
What is a Linear Equation? A linear equation in two variables is an equation that can be written in standard form as Ax + By = C where A, B, and C are real numbers and a and b are not both 0.
Methods of Graphing • T-Table • 2)x & y intercepts 3) Slope intercept form (y=mx+b)
Steps: List 5 numbers (x) in the t-table. Plug each x into the equation to find y. Plot all of the coordinates. Connect the dots to make a line. T-Table
y=3x+2 Steps: List 5 numbers (x) in the t-table. Plug each x into the equation to find y. Plot all of the coordinates. Connect the dots to make a line. Y=3x+2 Y=3(-4)+2 Y= -12+2 Y= -10 Y=3x+2 Y=3(-2)+2 Y= -6+2 Y= -4 Plug in all the numbers!! T-Table

X & Y InterceptsWhat are they? • x-intercept: The point where the line crosses the x-axis. • To find, let y = 0 and find the value of x. • Write as an ordered pair (x, 0) • y-intercept: The point where the line crosses the y-axis. • To find, let x = 0 and find the value of y. • Write as an ordered pair (0, y)
Steps: 1) Find the x-intercept of the line (evaluate when y=0) 2) Find the y-intercept of the line (evaluate when x=0) 3) Plot the two ordered pairs (#,0) and (0,#) 4) Connect the dots to make a line. X-Intercept y=2x-6 0=2x-6 +6 +6 6=2x 2 3=x X-intercept: (3,0) X & Y Intercepts y=2x-6

Horizontal Lines • The y-coordinates of the points on a horizontal line are the same. • The slope of any horizontal line is 0. • Equations of horizontal lines are written y = the value of the y-coordinate. Y = 5
Vertical Lines X = -3 • The x-coordinates of the points on a vertical line are the same. • The slope of any vertical line is undefined. • Equations of vertical lines are written x = the value of the x-coordinate.
