Determine whether an ordered pair
is a solution of the equation.
5π¦ β 3π₯ = 1
Is this point a solution of the linear equation?

Determine whether an ordered pair
is a solution of the equation.
5π¦ β 3π₯ = 1
Is this point a solution of the linear equation?
8,5
What about the point β3, β2 ?

Graphing Linear Equations by
Plotting Points
Given an equation, plug in numbers in for x and
solve for the corresponding y value. Basically,
do a βT-tableβ. Then write the numbers for x
and y as an ordered pair and plot it.

do a βT-tableβ. Then write the numbers for x
and y as an ordered pair and plot it.
E.g.:
π¦ = β3π₯ + 4

Graphing Linear Equations by
Finding Intercepts
ο§ The point where a graph intersects the x-axis
is called the x-intercept.
ο§ The point where a graph intersects the y-axis
is called the y-intercept.

Graphing Linear Equations by
Finding Intercepts
ο§ The point where a graph intersects the x-axis
is called the x-intercept.
ο§ The point where a graph intersects the y-axis
is called the y-intercept.
ο§ To find the x-intercept, pick y = 0 and solve
for x.
ο§ To find the y-intercept, pick x = 0 and solve
for y.

Example
ο§ To find the x-intercept, pick y = 0 and solve
for x.
ο§ To find the y-intercept, pick x = 0 and solve
for y.
β3π₯ = 6π¦ + 15

When the Intercept Method βfails.β
There are times when the Intercept Method will
not work so well. It βfailsβ when (0,0) is a
solution to the equation.
E.g.:
7π¦ β 8π₯ = 0
13
π¦=β π₯

Graphing Horizontal and Vertical
Lines
ο§ If an equation only has an x or y variable,
then you have either a horizontal or a vertical
line.

Graphing Horizontal and Vertical
Lines
ο§ If an equation only has an x or y variable,
then you have either a horizontal or a vertical
line.
E.g.:
x = 3 is a vertical line going through the point
3,0 .
y = 5 is a horizontal line going through the point
0,5 .

Write each equation in y = b or
x = a. Graph the equations.
1.) β4π¦ + 3 = β13
2.) β3π₯ β 5 = 4
