Linear Law 3.1 Linear Law Objectives • In this lesson, you will learn how to • convert a non-linear relation to linear form, • use new variables X and Y to draw the graph of Y = mX + c, • estimate the values of the gradient m and the Y-intercept, c, • use the values of m and c to estimate unknown constants in the original • equation, • and use the linear graph of Y = mX + c to obtain the estimated values of x and y.
Two variables x and y are related by the equation Linear Law Example 1 Calculate values of y for some values of x. Graph of Y against X. The points lie on a straight line.
Two variables x and y are related by the equation Linear Law Example 2 Calculate values of xy(Y ) for some values of x. Graph of Y against X. The points lie on a straight line.
Two variables x and y are related such that when is plotted against , a straight line is obtained. The line passes through the points A(1, –1) and B(4, 14). Express y in terms of x. Linear Law Example 3 The line passes through (1, –1).
Two variables x and y are related by the equation Linear Law Example 4 (b) Draw the graph of lg y against lg x. The points lie on a straight line.
Two variables x and y are related in such a way that when xy is plotted against , a straight line is obtained. The line passes through the points A(–1, –1) and B(5, 2). Linear Law Example 5 (a) Find an expression for y in terms of x. (b) Find the value of y when x = 2.
Linear Law 3.2 Applications of Linear Law Objectives In this lesson, you will apply linear law to analyse experimental data.
The table shows experimental values of two quantities x and y which are known to be connected by an equation of the form Plot against and use the graph to estimate the values of a and b. Linear Law Example 6
Linear Law Example 7 The table shows experimental values of the variables x and y. It is known that x and y are related by the equation y = axn (a, n are constants) (a) Express the equation in a form to draw a straight line graph. (b) Draw the graph to estimate n and a.
Linear Law (c) Calculate the value of x when y = 66. Using lg y = 1.62 lg x + 0.33, lg 66 = 1.62 lg x + 0.33 1.82 = 1.62 lg x + 0.33 lg x = 0.92 x = 0.82
Linear Law Example 8 The table shows experimental values of the variables x and y. It is known that x and y are related by the equation y = ax2+ bx (a, b are constants) (a) Express the equation in a form to draw a straight line graph. (b) Draw the graph to estimate a and b.
