Study Notes
Rectangular Coordinate System
- The rectangular coordinate system (also called the Cartesian coordinate system) uses two perpendicular lines called axes: the x-axis (horizontal) and the y-axis (vertical).
- The point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect is called the origin (0,0).
- The axes divide the plane into four sections called quadrants.
- Quadrant I: positive x-values, positive y-values
- Quadrant II: negative x-values, positive y-values
- Quadrant III: negative x-values, negative y-values
- Quadrant IV: positive x-values, negative y-values
Plotting Points
- A point on a coordinate plane is uniquely identified by an ordered pair of numbers (x, y).
- The first number (x-coordinate) represents the horizontal position.
- The second number (y-coordinate) represents the vertical position.
- To plot a point on the coordinate plane, move horizontally according to the x-coordinate and vertically according to the y-coordinate.
Determining Quadrants
- If x > 0 and y > 0, the point is in Quadrant I.
- If x < 0 and y > 0, the point is in Quadrant II.
- If x < 0 and y < 0, the point is in Quadrant III.
- If x > 0 and y < 0, the point is in Quadrant IV.
Linear Equations
- A linear equation in two variables has the form ax + by = c, where a, b, and c are constants, and a and b are not both zero.
- The graph of a linear equation is a straight line.
Constructing Tables of Values
- To create a table of values for a linear equation, choose values for x (or y) and calculate the corresponding y (or x) value.
- Several points on the line are useful for accurately plotting the line graph.
- Ensure the table has at least two points.
Graphing Linear Equations
- Plot the points from the table of values on the coordinate plane.
- Connect the points with a straight line.
- This line represents the graph of the linear equation.
Intercepts, Domain, and Range
- X-intercept: The point where the line crosses the x-axis (y = 0).
- Y-intercept: The point where the line crosses the y-axis (x = 0).
- Domain: The set of all possible x-values for the equation. For a linear equation, the domain is typically all real numbers.
- Range: The set of all possible y-values for the equation. For a linear equation, the range is typically all real numbers.
