4.2 GRAPHING LINEAR EQUATIONS
In the summer you earn money by pressure washing roofs
for $20 an hour and mowing yards for $10 an hour. You
want to make $400. An algebraic model for your earnings is
20x + 10y = 400, where x is the number of hours pressure
washing and y is the number of hours mowing yards.

Sketch a graph of the equation. If you spend 15 hours

pressure washing roofs, how many hours did you have to
lawn yards to earn $400.
 4.2 GRAPHING LINEAR EQUATIONS
x – intercept (pressure washing):
20x + 10y = 400
 Sketch a graph of
20x + 10(0) = 400 the equation.
20x = 400
20 20  If you spend 15 hours
x = 20 pressure washing
roofs, how many
y – intercept (mowing yards: hours did you have
15x + 10y = 400 to lawn yards to earn
15(0) + 10y = 400 $400.
10y = 400

INTERCEPTS
You help Mrs. Flores move books. The math
books weigh 3 pounds each. The science
books weigh 4 pounds each. You can carry 24
pounds in one load.

Make a graph showing the possible number of

each type of book carried in one load.

Is it possible for you to carry 5 math books in

one load? Explain.
 4.3 QUICK GRAPHS USING

x = number of math textbooks
y = number of science textbooks
3x + 4y = 24

x-intercept y-intercept
3x + 4y = 24 3x + 4y = 24
3x + 4(0) = 24 3(0) + 4y = 24

Is it possible for you to carry 5

math books in one load? Explain.

No. According to the graph

carrying 5 math books and 2.25
science books. You cannot carry
part of a book.
 4.4 THE SLOPE OF A LINE

The ramp is 5 feet long. The top of

the ramp is at the bottom of the

door that is 2 feet from the ground.

What is the slope of the ramp?

INTERCEPT FORM
A tailor charges a $15 fee plus $2.50 per
letter to sew a name onto a jacket. The
equation y = 2.5x +15 models the total
cost y of sewing a name with x letters.
Find the slope and y-intercept of the
equation. Explain what the slope and y-
intercept mean in the cost model.
 4.6 QUICK GRAPHS USING SLOPE-
INTERCEPT FORM
y = mx + b

Slope (m) y-intercept (b)

y = mx + b
y = 2.5x + 15 The slope is the cost per letter.
Slope (m) = 2.5 The y-intercept is the fee.
y-intercept (b) = 15

USING GRAPHS

The total cost y of a family membership to Paradise

Fitness gym for x months can be modeled by the
equation y = 30x + 75. How many months of family
membership do you have if your family pays $225.
 4.7 SOLVING LINEAR EQUATIONS
USING GRAPHS

Given information: Solve:

x = number of months y = 30x + 75
y = 30x + 75 225 = 30x + 75
$225 total cost -75 - 75
150 = 30x

 4.8 FUNCTIONS AND RELATIONS
You ride your bicycle from your house to school. Your
average speed is 15 miles per hour. Write a linear
function that models the distance you travel d(t) as a
function of t, the time spent traveling. Then use your
model to estimate the distance traveled after you
ride for 0.2 hours.
 4.8 FUNCTIONS AND RELATIONS

Information you know:

distance = rate(time) d = rt
d = rt
d = 15(0.2)
Given Information:
r = 15 mph d = 3 miles
t = 0.2 hours
