Graphing Linear Equations

LT 4.2 Graph vertical and horizontal lines.
LT 4.3 Use function notation.

The _____________________________ of an equation with x and y is an

that makes the equation true.

ordered pair (x, y)

Example 1. Which ordered pair is a solution of 3x y = 7?

a. (3, 4)

b. (1, -4)

c. (5, -3)

d. (-1, -2)

Example 2. Graph the equation -2x + y = -3

Step 1: Get y by itself.
Step 2: Make a table of values
Step 3: Plot the points
Step 4: Connect the points

Example 3. Graph the equation

a. y = - x + 4

b. x = -1

A y = equation is a __________________________________________________.
An x = equation is a ________________________________________________.

c. y = 3

The notation _______________ indicates that an equation is a ______________________________________.

It replaces the

in the equation.

For example, y = 3x + 5 becomes

Example 4. Find each function value if f(x) = 5x + 2.
a. f(3)

b. f(-2)

c. f(0)

d. f( )

1. Is (2, 3) a solution to x + 2y = 5?
2. Graph:
a. x = 3

3. If f(x) = 6x + 4, find
a. f(-2)

b. 4x + 2y = 8

b. f(3)
