Vocabularies
• A linear equation is the equation of a line.
• An x-intercept is a point on the graph where y is
zero. In other words, an x-intercept is a point in the
equation where the y-value is zero.
• A y-intercept is a point on the graph where x is
zero. In other words, a y-intercept is a point in the
equation where the x-value is zero.
• Values of x for which f(x)=0 are called zeros. For a
linear function, the zero is its x-intercept.
Standard Form
Ax + By = C
A, B, and C have to be integers
An equation is LINEAR (the graph is
a straight line) if it can be written in
standard form.
This form is useful for graphing
(later on…).
Determine whether each equation is
a linear equation.
1) 4x = 7 + 2y
Can you write this in the form
Ax + By = C?
4x - 2y = 7
A = 4, B = -2, C = 7
This is linear!
Determine whether each equation is
a linear equation.
2) 2x2 - y = 7
Can you write it in standard form?
NO - it has an exponent!
Not linear
3) x = 12
x + 0y = 12
A = 1, B = 0, C = 12
Linear
Here’s the cheat sheet! An equation that is
linear does NOT contain the following:
1. Variables in the denominator
3
y  2
x
2. Variables with exponents
y  x 3

3. Variables multiplied with other


variables.

1. Yes
2. No

Standard Form
x – 4y = 3
Is this equation linear?

2

1. Yes
2. No

Exponents are
not allowed!
Is this equation linear?
y = -3

1. Yes
2. No

Standard Form
0x + y = -3
Review of the definition.

• An x-intercept is a point on the graph where y is zero. In


other words, an x-intercept is a point in the equation where the
y-value is zero.
• A y-intercept is a point on the graph where x is zero. In other
words, a y-intercept is a point in the equation where the x-
value is zero.
• Values of x for which f(x)=0 are called zeros. For a linear
function, the zero is its x-intercept.

Solution:

y-intercept is (0, 2).

Graph an equation by making a
table
Graphing Steps
1) Isolate the variable (solve for y).
2) Make a t-table. If the domain is
not given, pick your own values.
3) Plot the points on a graph.
4) Connect the points.
1) Review: Solve for y
2x + y = 4
1. Draw “the river”
- 2x - 2x
2. Subtract 2x from
both sides
y = -2x + 4
2) Solve for y: 4x + 2y = -6
1. Subtract 4x - 4x - 4x
2. Simplify 2y = -4x - 6
3. Divide both sides by 2 2 2
4. Simplify y = -2x - 3
3) Solve for y: x - 3y = 6
1. Subtract x - x - x
2. Simplify -3y = -x + 6
3. Divide both sides by -3
-3 -3
4. Simplify
x  6
y
3
or x
y  2

4) Review: Make a t-table
If f(x) = 2x + 4, complete a table
using the domain {-2, -1, 0, 1, 2}.
x f(x) ordered pair
-2 2(-2) + 4 = 0 (-2, 0)
-1 2(-1) + 4 = 2 (-1, 2)
0 2(0) + 4 = 4 (0, 4)
1 2(1) + 4 = 6 (1, 6)
2 2(2) + 4 = 8 (2, 8)
5) Given the domain {-2, -1, 0, 1, 2},

graph 3x + y = 6
1. Solve for y: 3x + y = 6
Subtract 3x - 3x - 3x
2. Make a table
x -3x + 6 y = -3x + 6
ordered pair
-2 -3(-2) + 6 = 12 (-2, 12)
-1 -3(-1) + 6 = 9 (-1, 9)
0 -3(0) + 6 = 6 (0, 6)
1 -3(1) + 6 = 3 (1, 3)
2 -3(2) + 6 = 0 (2, 0)
5) Given the domain {-2, -1, 0, 1, 2},
