1
Equations in two variables can be represented by a graph. Each ordered pair (x,y) that makes the equation true is a point on the graph. Graph equation by plotting points and then connecting the points with smooth curves. Use curves except for linear equations 2.2 Graphs of Equations
2
Linear Example x y Create a table of points: xy=-5x+12 -2 0 1 2 8 24 2
3
Nonlinear Example x y Create a table of points: x -2 0 1 2 2 6 2 -6
4
Intercepts Where the graph crosses the axes x-intercept: cross the x-axis => y-intercept: cross the y-axis =>
5
Int Example 1 Find the intercepts for the following equation. y-intercepts: x-intercepts:
6
Int Example 2 Find the intercepts for the following equation. y-intercepts: x-intercepts: y-intercepts:
7
Symmetry If the graph has a mirror-image over x-axis, y-axis, or origin. y-axis symmetry: symmetry over the y-axis(x=0) x-axis symmetry: symmetry over the x-axis(y=0) If replacing -x for x doesn’t change the equation => y-axis symmetry If replacing -y for y doesn’t change the equation => x-axis symmetry
8
Symmetry origin symmetry: symmetry over the origin (0, 0) If replacing -x for x and -y for y doesn’t change the equation => origin symmetry
9
Example 1 Try y-axis symmetry: -x for x Try x-axis symmetry: -y for y Try origin symmetry: -x for x, -y for y
10
Example 2 Try y-axis symmetry: -x for x Try x-axis symmetry: -y for y Try origin symmetry: -x for x, -y for y
