Steps to Solve

  1. Finding Coordinates for the First Equation
    For the equation $y = 2x + 5$, choose values for $x$ (e.g., $-2, -1, 0, 1, 2$).
    Calculate $y$ for each value:
  • For $x = -2$: $y = 2(-2) + 5 = 1$ → Coordinates: $(-2, 1)$
  • For $x = -1$: $y = 2(-1) + 5 = 3$ → Coordinates: $(-1, 3)$
  • For $x = 0$: $y = 2(0) + 5 = 5$ → Coordinates: $(0, 5)$
  • For $x = 1$: $y = 2(1) + 5 = 7$ → Coordinates: $(1, 7)$
  • For $x = 2$: $y = 2(2) + 5 = 9$ → Coordinates: $(2, 9)$
  1. Finding Coordinates for the Second Equation
    For $y = 2x - 4$, choose the same $x$ values.
    Calculate $y$:
  • For $x = -2$: $y = 2(-2) - 4 = -8$ → Coordinates: $(-2, -8)$
  • For $x = -1$: $y = 2(-1) - 4 = -6$ → Coordinates: $(-1, -6)$
  • For $x = 0$: $y = 2(0) - 4 = -4$ → Coordinates: $(0, -4)$
  • For $x = 1$: $y = 2(1) - 4 = -2$ → Coordinates: $(1, -2)$
  • For $x = 2$: $y = 2(2) - 4 = 0$ → Coordinates: $(2, 0)$
  1. Finding Coordinates for the Third Equation
    For $y = -2x + 5$, choose the same $x$ values.
    Calculate $y$:
  • For $x = -2$: $y = -2(-2) + 5 = 9$ → Coordinates: $(-2, 9)$
  • For $x = -1$: $y = -2(-1) + 5 = 7$ → Coordinates: $(-1, 7)$
  • For $x = 0$: $y = -2(0) + 5 = 5$ → Coordinates: $(0, 5)$
  • For $x = 1$: $y = -2(1) + 5 = 3$ → Coordinates: $(1, 3)$
  • For $x = 2$: $y = -2(2) + 5 = 1$ → Coordinates: $(2, 1)$
  1. Finding Coordinates for the Fourth Equation
    For $y = -2x - 4$, perform the same steps:
  • For $x = -2$: $y = -2(-2) - 4 = 0$ → Coordinates: $(-2, 0)$
  • For $x = -1$: $y = -2(-1) - 4 = -2$ → Coordinates: $(-1, -2)$
  • For $x = 0$: $y = -2(0) - 4 = -4$ → Coordinates: $(0, -4)$
  • For $x = 1$: $y = -2(1) - 4 = -6$ → Coordinates: $(1, -6)$
  • For $x = 2$: $y = -2(2) - 4 = -8$ → Coordinates: $(2, -8)$
  1. Finding Coordinates for the Vertical Line
    For the line $x = 8$, all $y$ values can be chosen freely. Use values:
  • $(-, 1)$, $(-, 2)$, $(-, 3)$, $(-, 4)$ and so on.
  1. Finding Coordinates for the Horizontal Line
    For the line $y = -8$, use a similar method:
  • $(1, -8)$, $(2, -8)$, $(3, -8)$, $(4, -8)$ and so on.
  1. Analyzing Common Properties
    For #9, the lines in #1 and #2:
    Both are linear equations and have different slopes.
    Identify their characteristics, such as direction and intersections.

  2. Finding Slopes
    For #10:
    To find the slope of line #6 ($x=8$), it is undefined because it's a vertical line.
    For line #7, $y=8$, the slope is $0$ because it is horizontal.

1.) Coordinates: $(-2, 1)$, $(-1, 3)$, $(0, 5)$, $(1, 7)$, $(2, 9)$

2.) Coordinates: $(-2, -8)$, $(-1, -6)$, $(0, -4)$, $(1, -2)$, $(2, 0)$

3.) Coordinates: $(-2, 9)$, $(-1, 7)$, $(0, 5)$, $(1, 3)$, $(2, 1)$

5.) Points can be: $(8, 1)$, $(8, 2)$, $(8, 3)$, $(8, 4)$, etc.

6.) Points can be: $(1, -8)$, $(2, -8)$, $(3, -8)$, $(4, -8)$, etc.

9.) Both lines have different slopes; they intersect at one point.

10.) The slope of line #6 is undefined; the slope of line #7 is $0$.

More Information

These equations represent various linear functions. In a graph, linear functions appear as straight lines. A vertical line has an undefined slope, while a horizontal line has a slope of 0. Understanding these concepts is crucial for graphing and analyzing equations.

Tips

  • Confusing the slope of vertical and horizontal lines.
  • Not choosing a sufficient range of $x$ values for complete coordinate tables.
  • Forgetting to check for intersections between lines.
