REFRESHER Linear Graphs

INTERPRETING STRAIGHT-LINE GRAPHS Equations and graphs are used to study the relationship between two variables such as distance and speed. If a relationship exists between the variables, one can be said to be a function of the other. A function can be described by a table, a rule or a graph. We are going to analyze linear functions.

Standard linear equation y = mx + c Where ‘m’ is the gradient and ‘c’ is the y-intercept.

Gradient The gradient (or slope) is the steepness of a line. The gradient gives us information about how much one variable changes compared to another. The steeper the line the greater the gradient Gradient is simply the change in the vertical distance (rise) over the change in the horizontal distance (run). 400 m 500 m Gradient = m = Rise Run rise 200 m 400 m rise run run m = m =

Gradient The graph of y = 2x - 4 m = 8 4 = 2 8 4 Gradient = m = Rise Run rise m = 8 4 = 2 8 run 4

Gradient The graph of y = 2x - 4 4 m = 4 2 = 2 2 The gradient is the same at any point along a straight line Gradient = m = Rise Run rise 4 m = 4 2 = 2 run 2

If a line goes up from left to right, Gradient: Positive or negative? If a line goes up from left to right, then the slope has to be positive If a line goes down from left to right, then the slope has to be negative Lines that are horizontal have zero slope. Vertical lines have no slope, or undefined slope.

Gradient: Positive or Negative? Positive gradient x- value increases y- value increases Negative gradient x- value increases y- value decreases

Gradient: Definition Since the rise is simply the change in the vertical distance and the run is the change in the horizontal distance. The rise and run can be found by calculating the change between two points on a line. In order to use this formula we need to know, or be able to find 2 points on the line. Eg (0,-4) & (2,0) x1, y1 x2, y2

Gradient Exercise 6.2 Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4, Q5, Q6 RHS The graph of y = 2x - 4 (4,4) 1. Choose two points on the graph 2. Substitute the values and calculate (0,-4) (4,4) x1, y1 x2, y2 m = 4- -4 4-0 = 8 4 = 2 (0,-4)

Gradient Exercise 6.2 Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4, Q5, Q6 RHS The graph of y = -2x + 4 (0, 4) 1. Choose two points on the graph 2. Substitute the values and calculate (0,4) (2,0) x1, y1 x2, y2 (2,0) m = 0 - 4 2 - 0 = -4 2 = -2

Intercepts The x-intercept occurs where the line cuts the x- axis. At the x- intercept the y-value always equals to 0. The y- intercept occurs where the line cuts the y- axis. At the y-intercept the x-value is always equal to 0. (2,0) x-intercept (0,-4) y-intercept

Brain Storm! Explain how you could find the y-intercept by: Looking at a graph b) Looking at an equation y = 2x +3 c) Looking at a table of values Find the coordinates for the point where the line passes through the x-axis (the x-intercept), and for the point where the line passes through the y axis (the y-intercept) Substitute y = 0 into the equation to find the x value for the x-intercept. Substitute x = 0 into the equation to find the y-value for the y-intercept. Carefully plot the points and look at the graph. OR... Work out the rule used and use the method listed above under looking at an equation X 2 4 Y 8 12 Rule: y = 2x +4

Find the Intercepts: Find the x and y intercepts of the following graphs: a. b. c. d. (2,0) (2,0) x-intercept x-intercept (0, 4) y-intercept (0,-4) y-intercept (0,0) (4,0) x-intercept x-intercept (0, 4) (0,0) y-intercept y-intercept

Find the intercepts Example 1. Find the x and y intercepts of the following equation: y = 3 x + 2 x int: y = 0 0 = 3 x + 2 0-2 = 3 x +2 - 2 -2 = 3 x 3 3 X = - 2 3 x – intercept = -2/3 i.e. The line cuts the x –axis at (-2/3, 0) y int: x = 0 y = 3 (0) + 2 y = 0 + 2 y = 2 y-intercept = 2 i.e. the line cuts the y axis at (0,2)

Find the intercepts Example 2. Find the x and y intercepts of the following equation: y = -2x + 1 x int: y = 0 0 = -2x + 1 0-1 = -2x + 1 - 1 -1 = -2x -2 -2 X = 1 2 x – intercept = ½ i.e. The line cuts the x –axis at ( ½ , 0) y int: x = 0 y = -2(0) + 1 y = 0 + 1 y = 1 y-intercept = 1 i.e. the line cuts the y axis at (0,1)

Find the intercepts Example 1. Find the x and y intercepts of the following equation: 2x + 3y = 6 x int: y = 0 2x + 3(0) = 6 2x + 0 = 6 2x = 6 2 2 x = 6 2 x = 3 x – intercept = 3 i.e. The line cuts the x –axis at (3, 0) y int: x = 0 2 (0) + 3y = 6 0 + 3y = 6 3y = 6 3 y = 2 y-intercept = 2 i.e. the line cuts the y axis at (0,2)

REMEMBER!! The x-intercept occurs where the line cuts the x- axis. At the x- intercept the y-value always equals to 0. The y- intercept occurs where the line cuts the y- axis. At the y-intercept the x-value is always equal to 0. (2,0) x-intercept (0,-4) y-intercept

Sketching linear graphs using the x- and y-intercepts State the equation Find the x- intercept (substitute 0 for y and solve for x) Find the y- intercept (substitute 0 for x and solve for y) Mark the x intercept and y intercept and rule a straight line through them.

Sketch the linear equation Example 1. Find the x and y intercepts of the following equation and sketch the line. y = 2 x + 4 STEP 1: FIND THE INTERCEPTS... x int: y = 0 0 = 2 x + 4 0-4 = 2 x +4 - 4 -4 = 2 x 2 2 X = - 4 2 X = -2 x – intercept = -2 i.e. The line cuts the x –axis at (-2, 0) y int: x = 0 y = 2 (0) + 4 y = 0 + 4 y = 4 y-intercept = 4 i.e. the line cuts the y axis at (0,4)

Sketch the linear equation Example 1. Find the x and y intercepts of the following equation and sketch the line. y = 2 x + 4 X int (-2,0) Y int (0,4) STEP 2: PLOT THE COORDINATES AND RULE A STRAIGHT LINE BETWEEN THEM... y y = 2 x + 4 x
