Study Notes
Graphs of Equations
- A graph of an equation can help visualize relationships between real-life quantities.
- An equation in two variables, such as y = 7 − 3x, represents a relationship between two quantities.
- An ordered pair (a, b) is a solution or solution point of an equation in x and y when the substitutions x = a and y = b result in a true statement.
Solution Points
- To determine whether a point (a, b) lies on the graph of an equation, substitute x = a and y = b into the equation.
- If the substitution results in a true statement, then the point (a, b) is a solution point of the equation.
Sketching Graphs of Equations
- To sketch the graph of an equation, rewrite the equation to isolate y on the left.
- Construct a table of values with several solution points of the equation.
- Plot the solution points and complete the sketch by drawing a line or curve through the points.
X- and Y-Intercepts
- The x-intercept is the point where the graph intersects the x-axis.
- The y-intercept is the point where the graph intersects the y-axis.
Symmetry in Graphs
- Symmetry can be used to graph an equation.
Equation of a Circle
- The standard form of the equation of a circle is given on page 17.
Real-Life Applications
- Graphs of equations can be used to solve real-life problems, such as analyzing life expectancy.
- Example 9 on page 18 shows how to use the graph of an equation to solve a real-life problem.
