4. y-axis: vertical number line that extends indefinitely in both directions from zero. (Up- positive Down- negative) x-axis: horizontal number line that extends indefinitely in both directions from zero. (Right- positive Left- negative) Origin: the point where zero on the x-axis intersects zero on the y- axis. The coordinates of the origin are (0,0). II I III IV Vocabulary Review Coordinate Plane: the two dimensional plane or flat surface that is created when the x-axis intersects with the y-axis. Also known as a coordinate graph and the Cartesian plane. Quadrant: any of the four regions created when the x-axis intersects the y-axis. They are usually numbered with Roman numerals.

5. To graph an ordered pair, such as (4, 8), you start at the origin (0, 0)and then go left or right on the x-axis depending on the first number and then up or down from there parallel to the y- axis.

6. So to graph (4,8), we would go 4 to the right and up 8 from there.

7. Linear Equation: Any equation whose graph is a line. One way to check this is to create a table of values.

9. Geometry Theorem: Through any two points in a plane there can be drawn only one line.

10. Given y = 3x + 2, we want to graph our equation to show all of the ordered pairs that make it true. So according to this theorem from Geometry, we need to find 2 points.

11. One way is to create a table of values. Let's consider the equation y= 3x + 2. We need to find pairs of x and y numbers that make equation true.

12. Let's find some values for y = 3x + 2. Pick values for x and plug them into the equation, then solve for y. x 3(x)+2 y (x,y) 0 3(0)+2 2 (0,2) 2 3(2)+2 8 (2,8) -3 3(-3)+2 -7 (-3,-7)

13. x 3(x) + 2 y (x,y) 0 3(0) + 2 2 (0,2) 2 3(2) + 2 8 (2,8) -3 3(-3) + 2 -7 (-3,-7) Now let's graph those points we just found. Notice anything about the points we just graphed?

14. That's right! The points we graphed form a line. The theorem says we only needed 2 points, so why did we graph 3 points? The third point serves as a check.

15. Graph y = 2x+4 x 2x+4 y (x,y) 0 2(0)+4 4 (0,4) 3 2(3)+4 10 (3,10) -1 2(-1)+4 2 (-1,2) Now graph your points and draw the line. x 2x+4 y (x,y) click for table

16. x -2(x)+1 y (x,y) 0 -2(0)+1 1 (0,1) 3 -2(3)+1 -5 (3,-5) -1 -2(-1)+1 3 (-1,3) Graph y = -2x+1 Now graph your points and draw the line. x -2(x)+1 y (x,y) click for table

17. x ¾(x)-3 y (x,y) 0 ¾(0)-3 -3 (0,-3) 4 ¾(4)-3 0 (4,0) -4 ¾(-4)-3 -6 (-4,-6) Graph y = ¾x  3 Now graph your points and draw the line. x ¾(x)-3 y (x,y)

18. Recall that in the previous example that even though the number in front of x was a fraction, our answers were integers. x ¾(x)-3 y (x,y) 0 ¾(0)-3 -3 (0,-3) 4 ¾(4)-3 0 (4,0) -4 ¾(-4)-3 -6 (-4,-6) Notice the x-values chosen are zero, the denominator and the opposite of the denominator. Why? Move me to find out!
