Graphing Equations Questions

The document is a worksheet on linear equations in two unknowns. It contains (1) an example graph with the line y=2x+4 and asks which points lie on the graph, (2) another line graph and asks which points lie on it and what the equation is, (3) a question about what point lies on the line x - 2y + 2 = 0, and (4) a question about what point does not lie on the line 2x + y + 4 = 0. The worksheet contains graphs and equations of lines and asks students to identify points that do and do not lie on them.

In the figure above, let x and y be the x- and y-coordinates of A respectively.


(a) Suggest FOUR possible relations between x and y.

x y = __________
(b) (i) Choose either one of the above relations. Express it in
the form y = … in the table given. 2 4
(ii) Fill in the table the coordinates of some other points
satisfying the relation.
(iii) Plot these points in the above graph.
(iv) What do we get if we plot ALL points satisfying the
equation?

(c) The collection of ALL the points satisfying the equation on the rectangular
coordinate plane is called the graph of the equation.

(i) Draw the graph of the equation.

(ii) Suggest some points outside the range shown in the graph which:

lie on the graph;

do not lie on the graph.

Discuss how you can tell whether these points lie on the graph or not.
