CHAPTER 2 : GRAPHS OF FUNCTIONS II

Steps involved in solving an equation graphically: 1. Find the y value by substituting x value into the given function. 2. Draw the graph by using the given scale for x-axis and y- axis. 3. Find the value of y or x when given value of x or y from the graph. 4. On the same axes, draw a suitable straight line which satisfies the equation. 5. Determine the solutions by reading off the x-coordinates of the point of intersection of the two graphs. 11.1 : Linear Function Complete the following table below
