1. 2.2: Linear Equations Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in getting up every time we do.

2. Graphing Linear Equations y is called the dependent variable because the value of y depends on x x is called the independent variable xy(x, y)

3. Standard Form Standard form of a linear equation is Ax + By = C, where A, B, and C are real numbers and A, B ≠ 0. Graph linear equations in standard form by finding the x- and y- intercepts

4. More Practice Ex3) The equation 10x + 5y = 40 models how you can give $0.40 change if you have only dimes and nickels. The variable x is the number of dimes, and y is the number of nickels. Graph the equation. Describe the domain and the range. Explain what the x- and y-intercepts represent.

5. Slope

6. Slope (cont.) What does it mean if the slope is zero? What does it mean if the slope is Undefined?

7. Point-Slope Form The line through the point (x 1, y 1 ) with slope m has the equation y – y 1 = m(x – x 1 )

8. Point-Slope Form The line through the point (x 1, y 1 ) with slope m has the equation y – y 1 = m(x – x 1 ) Ex7) Find the equation of a line through the points (-2, 3) and (1, 6). Then write it in standard form.

9. Slope-Intercept Form y = mx + b Ex8) What is the slope of the line 4x + 6y = 18? What is the slope of: a horizontal line? a vertical line? parallel lines? perpendicular lines?

10. Perpendicular Lines Ex9) Write an equation of the line through (5, –3) and perpendicular to y = 4x + 1. Graph both lines.
