There are four friends who come from different parts of the Philippines. They are Lito, Nelia, Lucy and Mitoy. Whenever they are asked where their hometowns are, they would show a map and each would say, Lito: “My hometown falls on the line represented by the equation x = -5.” Nelia: “My hometown falls on the line represented by the equation y = -11.” Lucy: “My hometown falls on the line represented by the equation y = 3x + 6.” Mitoy: “My hometown falls on the line represented by the equation 2x + 5y = 10.” Your teacher will give you the map. The black dots in that map represent different possible hometowns. Can you find out where their hometowns are? For you to be able to answer this, you have to learn how to graph linear equations in the coordinate system. Page>> 13456789101112
Plot an ordered pair satisfying the equation and connect this point with the origin to create a line. Express the equation in slope-intercept form and use the slope and the y-intercept to graph the line. Graphing linear equations in the coordinate system Make a table of ordered pairs satisfying the equation and use these to graph the line. Determine the slope of the line represented by the equation and draw a line with this slope starting from the origin Which of the methods in the above diagram will lead you to graphing linear equations in the coordinate system? Be ready to explain your choice. Page>> 1245 6789101112
