Rectangular Coordinate System Note the x-axis and y-axis. The cross at the point (0, 0) or the Origin. There are 4 quadrants numbered counter clockwise with Roman Numerals. V. J. Motto
Coordinates (x, y) To plot or graph the point that corresponding to the ordered pair (a, b) we start at the origin and move a units left or right. Then we move b units up or down. V. J. Motto
Graphing y = - 300x + 2000 V. J. Motto
Example: Graphing y = 3x - 5 • Lets use our TI-83+ to sketch the graph • y = button • Graph button • 2nd Graph Table V. J. Motto
Linear Equations A linear equation in two variables is an equation that can be written in the form Ax + By = C Where A, B, and C are real numbers and A and B are not both 0. The graph of a linear equation in two variable is a straight line. V. J. Motto
Comment Often, it is more convenient to solve the equation for y. Thus, the linear equation 3x + y = 4 would be manipulate to become y = - 3x + 4 which is easier to use when creating tables. You choose different x values and calculate the corresponding y values. V. J. Motto
Example: Graphing – 5x + 3y = 15 V. J. Motto
