Linear Equations in Two Variables

Understanding, Graphing, and


Applications
Introduction
• What is a Linear Equation?
• • A mathematical equation that forms a
straight line when plotted on a graph.
• • Examples: 2x + y = 4, x - y = 5.
Standard Form
• • General form: ax + by + c = 0
• - a, b, and c are real numbers (a ≠ 0, b ≠ 0).
• • Example: Rewrite 3x - 2y = 6 into standard
form.
Solution of a Linear Equation
• • Definition: A pair of values (x, y) that
satisfies the equation.
• • Example: Solve x + y = 3
• - x = 1, y = 2
• - x = 0, y = 3.
Graphical Representation
• Steps to Graph a Linear Equation:
• 1. Rewrite the equation in y = mx + c form (if
necessary).
• 2. Find two solutions (points).
• 3. Plot the points on a Cartesian plane.
• 4. Join the points to form a straight line.
• • Example: Graph 2x + y = 6.
Slope-Intercept Form
• • Equation: y = mx + c
• - m: Slope of the line
• - c: Y-intercept (value of y when x = 0)
• • Example: Identify m and c in y = 3x + 1.
Key Properties
• • A linear equation represents a straight line.
• • The graph extends infinitely in both
directions.
• • The slope determines the steepness of the
line.
• • Parallel lines have the same slope.
Applications in Real Life
• • Budgeting: x + y = 100 (spending allocation).
• • Distance-Speed-Time relationship: d = rt.
• • Business: Revenue = px.
Practice Problems
• 1. Write the equation 3x + y = 9 in slope-
intercept form.
• 2. Find the solutions for x + 2y = 6.
• 3. Graph x - y = 4.
Summary
• • Definition and forms of linear equations.
• • Steps to graph a linear equation.
• • Importance in real-life applications.
