Example 2:
Graph the linear equation x – 2y = 2 Step 1: x = 0 0 – 2y = 2y = -1 Step 2: y = 0 x – 2(0) = 2x = 2 Step 3: Graph the x and y points (0, -1) and (2,0) Step 4: Draw a line through the two points Step…

Example Problem:
Graph the linear equation: 2x + y = 2 Step 1: Plug in x = 0 and solve for y. 2 (0) + y = 2y = 2 Step 2: Plug in y = 0 and solve for x. 2x + 0 = 22x = 2x = 1 Step 3: Graph the x and y…

Intro to Linear Equations
A linear equation is an equation that describes a straight line on a graph. You can remember this by the “line” part of the name linear equation. Standard Form Linear equations have a standard form that looks like this: Ax + By = C Where A and B are coefficients (numbers) while x and y…
