Graphs of Linear Equations

Page 4: Dec 14

Graphs of y = bWhere b is any number

y = b are always horizontal lines, and are functions

Graphs of x = aWhere a is any number

x = a are always vertical lines, and are not functions

Page 5: Dec 14

Graphs of y = mxy = "a number times x"

y = mx lines will always go through the origin, and will be at the angle shown.

Graphs of y = mx + cy = "a number times x plus c"

y = mx + c are similar in shape to y = mx, but do not go through the origin.

Defining Linear Equations

HOW DO I KNOW IF AN EQUATION IS LINEAR?

If an equation is linear, a constant change in the x-value corresponds to a

constant change in the y-value.

No bend or curve in the

line.

Not Linear

Solutions to Linear Equations

To ask "Is the ordered pair (1,3) a solution to the equation y = 10x - 7?", is the same as asking, " Is the point (1,3) on the line of y = 10x -7"? How do we know?

Determine whether the following ordered pairs are solutions to the equation y = 10x -7a.) (1,3) b.) (2, 13) c.) (-1,-3)

The slope of the line passing through the two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by the formula

The slope is the change in y divided by the change in x as we move along the line from (x1, y1) to (x2, y2).

Finding the x-and y-intercepts of Linear Equations

The path of the defender crosses the path of the thrown football.

In algebra, what are x- and y-intercepts?

What does it mean to INTERCEPT a pass in football?

Page 12: Dec 14

These are the x- and y-Intercepts

The x-intercept is where the graph crosses the x-axis. The y-coordinate is always zero.

The y-intercept is where the graph crosses the y-axis. The x-coordinate is always zero.

(2, 0)

(0, 6)

Page 13: Dec 14

x-intercept: Plug in 0 for y.

x - 2(0) = 12

x = 12; (12, 0)

y-intercept: Plug in 0 for x.

0 - 2y = 12

y = -6; (0, -6)

Find the x- and y-intercepts.1. x - 2y = 12

Page 14: Dec 14

x-intercept: Plug in 0 for y.

-3x - 5(0) = 9

-3x = 9

x = -3; (-3, 0)

y-intercept: Plug in 0 for x.

-3(0) + 5y = 9

5y = 9

y = ; (0, )

Find the x- and y-intercepts.2. -3x + 5y = 9

Does 0 = 7?

No! There is no x-intercept. None

What type of lines have no x-intercept?

Horizontal!

Horizontal lines…y = 7…y-int = (0, 7)

A linear equation written in the form y = mx + b is in slope-intercept form.

To graph an equation in slope-intercept form:

1. Write the equation in the form y = mx + b. Identify m and b.

The slope is m and the y-intercept is (0, b).

2. Plot the y-intercept (0, b).

3. Starting at the y-intercept, find another point on the line using the slope.

4. Draw the line through (0, b) and the point located using the slope.

Example: Graph the line y = 2x – 4.

2. Plot the y-intercept, (0, -

4).

1. The equation y = 2x – 4 is in the slope-intercept form. So, m = 2 and b = - 4.

3. The slope is 2.

The point (1, -2) is also on the line.

A linear equation written in the form y – y1 = m(x – x1) is in point-slope form.

The graph of this equation is a line with slope m passing through the point (x1, y1).

Example:

y – 3 = - (x – 4) is a line

of slope m = - passing

through the point (4, 3).

Example: Write the slope-intercept form for the equation of the line through the point (-2, 5) with a slope of 3.

Use the point-slope form, y – y1 = m(x – x1), with m = 3 and (x1, y1) = (-2, 5).

y – y1 = m(x – x1) Point-slope form

y – y1 = 3(x – x1) Let m = 3.

y – 5 = 3(x – (-2)) Let (x1, y1) = (-2, 5).

y – 5 = 3(x + 2) Simplify.

y = 3x + 11 Slope-intercept form

Two lines are parallel if they have the same slope.

If the lines have slopes m1 and m2, then the lines are parallel whenever m1 = m2.
