Algebra 2: Section 2.3: Quick Graphs of Linear Equations

This document provides instructions for graphing linear equations in slope-intercept form and standard form. It explains how to write the equations in the proper form, find any intercepts, and use the slope and intercepts to plot points and draw the line. An example is worked through for each form. Horizontal and vertical lines are also briefly discussed. The homework assigned is to graph problems from the textbook and respond to a question in the math journal.

Equations

Difficulty of today’s lesson:


Graphing Equations in
Slope-Intercept Form
 Write equation in correct form:
y = mx + b
 Plot y-intercept
 Use slope to plot a second point
 Start at y-intercept and use rise over run
 Draw a line through the two points
 Use a straightedge!
Example
 Graph the following:
2
y x 3
3

2
m y int : (0, 3)

Graphing Equations in
Standard Form
 Write equation in correct form:
Ax + By = C
 Find x-intercept
 Let y = 0 and solve for x
 Find y-intercept
 Let x = 0 and solve for y
 Plot intercepts
 Draw a line through points
Example
 Graph the Following:
4x 7y 28
x-intercept y-intercept
4x 7(0) 28 4(0) 7y 28
4 x 28 7y 28
x 7 y 4
(7, 0) (0, 4)
