Chapter 7-5Graphing Linear Equations

Page 2: 7 5

Terms and Concepts (A) Once a linear equation is obtained, it

can be graphed by using two different methods:

Find the two intercepts and draw a line through those two points.

Re-write the equation in slope-intercept form. Plot the intercept and then plot two additional points using the value for slope.

Terms and Concepts (B) Method 1:

To find the x intercept, set y = 0 and solve for x.

To find the y intercept, set x = 0 and solve for y.

Plot the two points and draw a line through them.

Terms and Concepts (C) Method 2:

By using the rules of algebra (see chapter 4), rearrange the equation to get it into slope-intercept form: y = mx + b.

Graph the y intercept (0, b). Use the slope (m) to plot two other points

and then draw a line through all three points.
