Finding the y-intercept Use the green definition books to get the definition or meaning of the Y-intercept and write it in your ISN notebook.

Linear Function- The equation Ax + By = C represents a linear function as long as B = 0.

Graph a Function Graph the function y = – 3x + 1 with domain x ≤ 0. Then identify the range of the function. SOLUTION x – 1 – 2 – 3 – 4 y 1 4 7 10 13 STEP 1 Make a table. STEP 2 Plot the points. STEP 3 Connect the points with a ray because the domain is restricted. STEP 4 Identify the range. From the graph, you can see that all points have a y-coordinate of 1 or more, so the range of the function is y ≥ 1.

“Graph Using Intercepts” x-intercept- the x-coordinate of the point where the graph crosses the x-axis To find the x-intercept, solve for ‘x’ when ‘y = 0.’ Find the x-intercept of the graph 2x + 7y = 28. 2x + 7y = 28 2x + 7(0)= 28 2x = 28 x = 14

Section 4.3 “Graph Using Intercepts” y-intercept- the y-coordinate of the point where the graph crosses the y-axis To find the y-intercept, solve for ‘y’ when ‘x = 0.’ Find the y-intercept of the graph 2x + 7y = 28. 2x + 7y = 28 2(0)+ 7y= 28 7y = 28 y = 4

Use Intercepts to Graph an Equation Graph the equation x + 2y = 4. Find the x-intercept Find the y-intercept x + 2y = 4 x + 2y = 4 x + 2(0) = 4 0 + 2y = 4 x =  x-intercept 4 y =  y-intercept 2 Plot points. The x-intercept is 4, so plot the point (4, 0). The y- intercept is 2, so plot the point (0, 2). Draw a line through the points.

Use Intercepts to Graph an Equation Graph the equation 6x + 7y = 42. Find the x-intercept Find the y-intercept 6x + 7y = 42 6x + 7y = 42 6x + 7(0)= 42 6(0) + 7y = 42 x =  x-intercept 7 y =  y-intercept 6 Plot points. The x-intercept is 7, so plot the point (7, 0). The y- intercept is 6, so plot the point (0, 6). Draw a line through the points.

Use a Graph to Find Intercepts The graph crosses the x-axis at (2, 0). The x-intercept is 2. The graph crosses the y-axis at (0, – 1). The y-intercept is – 1.

Use a Graph to Find Intercepts The graph crosses the x-axis at (–4, 0). The x-intercept is –4. The graph crosses the y-axis at (0, 2). The y-intercept is 2.

Problem Solving Using Linear Equations You are working at a local park and are in charge of renting skateboards and bikes. You rent bikes for $8.00 a day and skateboards for $4.00 a day. At the end of the day you have made a profit of $1200. Using the graph, make a table of values to show the different combinations of rentals that could have resulted in a $1200 profit. Write an algebraic equation to represent the situation. Use ‘x’ for skateboards and ‘y’ for bikes. 4x + 8y = 1200 bikes 50 50 100 150 200 250 300 skateboards
