Graphing a Linear Equation

Given (a) any two points; (b)


the x- and y- intercepts; (c)
the slope and a point on the
line
Recall
Every point in the plane can be represented
in terms of an ordered pair (𝒙, 𝒚)
(𝒙, 𝒚)

The x- coordinate of a point is The y- coordinate of a point


the distance of the point is the distance of the point
from the y- axis. from the x- axis.
Graphing a Point
• Locating a point in the rectangular
system.
• It is also called as plotting a point.

(𝒙, 𝒚) (𝒙, −𝒚)

(−𝒙, 𝒚) (−𝒙, −𝒚)


Graphing Ordered Pairs
(𝒙, 𝒚)
• From the origin, move x units to the right
and y units upward.
(𝒙, −𝒚)
• From the origin, move x units to the right
and y units downward.
Graphing Ordered Pairs
(−𝒙, 𝒚)
• From the origin, move x units to the left
and y units upward.
(−𝒙, −𝒚)
• From the origin, move x units to the left
and y units downward.
EXAMPLES

Plot on the graph the given points


a. (-3, 5) and (3, 2).
b. (-2, -5) and (4, 0).
a. (-3, 5) (3, 2)

From the origin, move 3 units to From the origin, move 3 units to
the left and 5 units upward. the right and 2 units upward.
a. (-3, 5) and (3, 2)

Plot the points on the Cartesian The final step is to connect the
Plane. two points using a line.
b. (-2, -5) (4, 0)

From the origin, move 2 units to From the origin, move 4 units to
the left and 5 units downward. the right only since the y-
coordinate is zero.
b. (-2, -5) and (4, 0)

Plot the points on the Cartesian The final step is to connect the
Plane. two points using a line.
Intercepts
x- intercept
• It is where the line crosses the x- axis.

• The value of y is zero.

y- intercept
• It is where the line crosses the y- axis.

• The value of x is zero.


EXAMPLES
Plot on the graph given the x- intercept and
the y- intercept.
1. x- intercept is (-5, 0) and
y- intercept is (0, 5).
2. x- intercept is (3, 0) and
y- intercept is (0, -4).
3. x- intercept is (-7, 0) and
y- intercept is (0, -7).
1. (-5, 0) and (0, 5)

Plot the points on the Rectangular Connect the two points using a
Coordinate System. line.
2. (3, 0) and (0, -4)

Plot the points on the Rectangular Connect the two points using a
Coordinate System. line.
3. (-7, 0) and (0, -7)

Plot the points on the Rectangular Connect the two points using a
Coordinate System. line.

Connect the points using a straight line.


2. (4, 2) Slope 𝟎

Plot the point (4, 2) on the Use the slope to locate the second point.
Rectangular Coordinate System. Since the slope is zero, the graph is a
HORIZONTAL line (parallel the x- axis).

Rectangular Coordinate System. From the point, rise (go up) 2 units and
run (move to the left) 3 units.
Summary
• In graphing an ordered pair, always start
from the ORIGIN.
• Next, we either move to the RIGHT or to
the LEFT depending on the x- coordinate.
• Then, move UPWARD or DOWNWARD
depending on the y- coordinate.
• Lastly, connect the points using a straight
line.
