TLW identify linear equations and intercepts. Linear Functions TLW identify linear equations and intercepts.

A linear equation is the equation of a line. The standard form of a linear equation is Ax + By = C * A has to be positive and cannot be a fraction.

Examples of linear equations 2x + 4y =8 6y = 3 – x x = 1 -2a + b = 5 Equation is in Ax + By =C form Rewrite with both variables on left side … x + 6y =3 B =0 … x + 0 y =1 Multiply both sides of the equation by -1 … 2a – b = -5 Multiply both sides of the equation by 3 … 4x –y =-21

Examples of Nonlinear Equations The following equations are NOT in the standard form of Ax + By =C: The exponent is 2 There is a radical in the equation Variables are multiplied Variables are divided 4x2 + y = 5 xy + x = 5 s/r + r = 3

This IS a linear equation. Determine whether the equation is a linear equation, if so write it in standard form. y = 5 – 2x y = 5 – 2x Rewrite the equation + 2x + 2x Add 2x to each side 2x + y = 5 Simplify A = 2, B= 1, C=5 This IS a linear equation.

Determine whether the equation is a linear equation, if so write it in standard form. 2xy -5y = 6 Since the term 2xy has two variables, the equation cannot be written in the form Ax + By =0. Therefore, this is NOT a linear equation.

Determine whether the equation is a linear equation, if so write it in standard form. Since the term x is raised to the second power, the equation cannot be written in the form Ax + By =0. Therefore, this is NOT a linear equation.

This IS a linear equation. Determine whether the equation is a linear equation, if so write it in standard form. y = 6 – 3x Rewrite the equation y = 6 – 3x Add 3x to each side + 3x + 3x 3x +y = 6 Simplify A = 3, B= 1, C=6 This IS a linear equation.

This IS a linear equation. Determine whether the equation is a linear equation, if so write it in standard form. Multiply everything by the denominator to get rid of the fraction (4) x + 20y = 12 A = 1, B= 20, C=12 This IS a linear equation.

Determine whether the equation is a linear equation, if so write it in standard form. -4x+7=2

X and Y intercepts The x coordinate of the point at which the graph of an equation crosses the x –axis is the x- intercept . The y coordinate of the point at which the graph of an equation crosses the y-axis is called the y- intercept. y- intercept (0, y) X- intercept (-x,0)

Find the x and y- intercepts of x = 4y – 5 Plug in x = 0 x = 4y - 5 0 = 4y - 5 5 = 4y = y (0, ) is the y-intercept x-intercept: Plug in y = 0 x = 4y - 5 x = 4(0) - 5 x = 0 - 5 x = -5 (-5, 0) is the x-intercept

Find the x and y-intercepts of g(x) = -3x – 1* Plug in x = 0 g(x) = -3(0) - 1 g(x) = 0 - 1 g(x) = -1 (0, -1) is the x-intercept Plug in y = 0 g(x) = -3x - 1 0 = -3x - 1 1 = -3x = x ( , 0) is the *g(x) is the same as y

Find the x and y-intercepts of 6x - 3y =-18 x-intercept Plug in y = 0 6x - 3y = -18 6x -3(0) = -18 6x - 0 = -18 6x = -18 x = -3 (-3, 0) is the y-intercept Plug in x = 0 6x -3y = -18 6(0) -3y = -18 0 - 3y = -18 -3y = -18 y = 6 (0, 6) is the

Find the x and y-intercepts of x = 3 A vertical line never crosses the y-axis. There is no y-intercept. x-intercept Plug in y = 0. There is no y. Why? x = 3 is a vertical line so x always equals 3. (3, 0) is the x-intercept. x y

Find the x and y-intercepts of y = -2 x-intercept Plug in y = 0. y cannot = 0 because y = -2. y = -2 is a horizontal line so it never crosses the x-axis. There is no x-intercept. y-intercept y = -2 is a horizontal line so y always equals -2. (0,-2) is the y-intercept. x y
