Chapter 4 Graphing Graph of a Linear Function
2
Linear Function Fencing Company: Fixed Charge for a Chain Link Fence Project $125 The rest of the cost for a 4 ft high fence is based on $8.50 per lineal foot of fencing. A 6 ft high fence would be based on $13.00/ft Cost = $125 + $8.50(Length) Cost = $125 + $13.00(Length)
3
Cost = $125 + $8.50(Length) Cost = $125 + $13.00(Length)

Slope Slope – a ratio that describes the steepness of a line and the direction that it slants. y x rise run 3 units 2 units
5
Slope – a ratio that describes the steepness of a line and the direction that it slants. y x Slope is relatively small & positive. Slope is relatively large & positive. Slope is relatively “small” & negative. Slope is relatively “large” & negative. Slope
6
Compute Slope when two points are known. Slope formula: rise run
7
Compute the slope of this line. y x 4 – 0 4 – 3 0 – 4 3 – 4 Compute Slope
8
Compute the slope of this line. y x 4 – (-1) -2 – 1 -1 – 4 1 – (-2)
9
Compute Slope Compute the slope of a line that passes through these two points. (-2,3) and (-6,5) 5 3 - -6 -2 -
10
Horizontal Lines Compute the slope of this line. y x 2 – 2 5 – (- 3) y = 2 = 0
11
Vertical Lines Compute the slope of this line. y x 5 – (- 3) 4 - 4 x = 4 = Undefined
12
Summary Horizontal lines: Slope = 0 Vertical lines: Slope = Undefined 0 0
13
Use Intercepts to Graph Lines
14
Intercepts Intercepts – locations where a graph intersects with an axis. x y y - intercept x - intercept (0,5) (-6,0)
15
x y y - intercept x - intercept (0,10) (8,0) Matching Excercise Intercepts
16
Graph with Intercepts Graph using intercepts. 3x + 2y = 12 In every x-intercept, y = 0 3x + 2(0) = 12 3x = 12 x = 4 (4,0)
17
Graph with Intercepts Graph using intercepts. 3x + 2y = 12 In every y-intercept, x = 0 3(0) + 2y = 12 2y = 12 y = 6 (0,6) (4,0)
18
Compute Intercepts Compute the x and y intercepts of this equation. 4x – 3y = 24 x – intercept (x, 0) 4x – 3(0) = 24 4x = 24 x = 6 ( 6,0 ) y – intercept (0, y) 4(0) – 3y = 24 -3y = 24 y = -8 ( 0,-8 )

Slope Intercept Form
20
Graph the line that passes through the point (0,2) and has a slope of m = Introduction 1 of 2 y x (0,2) 3 ↑3 ↑ 4 → y-intercept
21
Introduction 2 of 2 Graph the line that passes through the point (0,-1) and has a slope of m = y x (0,-1) -2 ↓ 3 → y-intercept
22
Slope-Intercept Form Equations like these… …are in slope-intercept format.
23
Slope-Intercept Form slope y-intercept = (0,2) 1 4 y-intercept
24
Slope-Intercept Form slope = 3 y-intercept = (0,-5) 3 1 y-intercept
25
Slope-Intercept Form slope y-intercept = (0,-6) -2 3 y-intercept
26
Rewrite Linear Equations into Slope-Intercept Form
27
2x + y = 1 Rearranging Equations to Slope- Intercept Form -2x y = -2x + 1 2x + y = 1
28
Rearranging Equations to Slope- Intercept Form 2x + 3y = 9 -2x 3y = -2x + 9 3 3 3 2x + 3y = 9
29
x – 4y = 12 Rearranging Equations to Slope- Intercept Form -x-x-x-x -4y = -x + 12 -4 -4 -4 x – 4y = 12
