Lesson 3 Linear Equation in Two Variables

The document discusses linear equations in two variables. It defines a linear equation as being in the standard form of Ax + By + C= 0, where A, B, and C are real numbers and A and B are not zero. It explains that the graph of a linear equation is a straight line and contrasts linear equations with non-linear equations like quadratic equations. It also discusses using a table of values to graph linear equations by choosing values for x, plugging them into the equation to solve for y, and plotting the ordered pairs on a coordinate plane.

LESSON 3 LINEAR EQUATION IN TWO VARIABLES

An equation with the highest degree or exponent of 1.

A linear equation in two variables can be put in the form (called standard form):

Ax + By + C= 0

Where A, B, and C are real numbers and A and B are not zero

EQUATION

An equation is a statement containting two equal numbers or expressions.

The expression on the left side is called the left-hand side.

The expression on the right side is called the right-hand side.

VARIABLES

The two variables used are usually x and y.

Graph of Linear Equation

The graph of a linear equation in a


rectangular coordinate system is a
straight line.

LINEAR EQUATION NON-LINEAR EQUATION


2x + y = 1 Xy = 10 quadratic equation

Y = 1 – 3x X^2 + y^2 = 1 quadratic equation

X = 5y -8 x

GRAPHING LINEAR EQUATION USING TABLE OF VALUES

TABLE OF VALUES is a list of numbers that are used to substitute one variable, to find the value of
the other variable or missing number.

A table of values forms a set of ordered pairs that can be plotted based on its equation.

Variables

The two variables used are usually x and y.


Steps

1. Choose values for x (both positive and negative) to plug into a table.

2. Plug those values one at a time into the equation for x, and solve for y.

3. Plot those (x, y) ordered pairs on the coordinate plane.

4. Follow the pattern of the graph to extend the line through the coordinate plane.

 An x-intercept is a point where a graph crosses the x-axis. At such a point, y = 0.


The point would be (x, 0)
 A y-intercept is a point where a graph crosses the y-axis. At such a point, x = 0.

The point would be (0, y).

3x + 5y = 15

To find the x-intercept, let y = 0 and solve for x.

3x + 5y = 15

3x + 5(0) = 15

3x = 15

x=5

To find the y-intercept, let x = 0 and solve for y.

3x + 5y = 15

3(0) + 5y = 15

5y = 15

Y=3

2x – y = 6

To find the x-intercept, let y = 0 and solve for x.

2x – 0 = 6

2x = 6

X=3

To find the y-intercept, let x = 0 and solve for y.

2(0) – y = 6
0–y=6

-y = 6

Y = -6
