Algebra 3-1
Linear Equation • Forms a line when graphed • Can be put into standard form: Ax+By=C Ex. 3x+2y=5 Ex. 1
Intercepts • X intercept is point where graph crosses the x axis and y=0 • Y intercept is point where graph crosses the y axis and x=0 • Real world examples a and b
Graph by using intercepts • Find x intercept by plugging in zero for y • Find y intercept by plugging in zero for x • Graph using the two points • Ex. 4
Exceptions • Some graphs will be missing one of the intercepts • Horizontal line • Vertical line
Graph by making a table • Plugging in points to make the graph (choose x values and use equation to determine y values) • Ex. 5
