SOL: A.6, A.7bf
Designed by Skip Tyler, Varina High School

2. List some pairs of numbers that will satisfy the equation x + y = 4.
x = 1 and y = 3
x = 2 and y = 2
x = 4 and y = 0
What about negative numbers?
If x = -1 then y = ?
y = 5

3. x + y = 4 What about decimals? If x = 2.6 then y = ?
Now, let’s graph the pairs of numbers we have listed.

4. (1, 3) (2, 2) (4, 0) (-1, 5) (2.6, 1.4) • • • • •
Connect the points on your graph.
What does the graph look like?

5. It is a straight line! It is a linear relation.•
What does the line represent? • • • •
All solutions for the equation x+y=4!
Is (3, -1) a solution to this equation?
NO! You can check by graphing it or plugging into the equation!

6. 1) Which is a solution to 2x – y = 5?
(2, 1)
(3, 2)
(4, 3)
(5, 4)
Answer Now

7. 2) Which ordered pair is not a solution to the graph shown?
(0, -1)
(3, 5)
(-2, -5)
(-3, -1)
Answer Now

8. 3) Solve the following equation for y: 2x + y = 4
Draw “the river”
Subtract 2x from both sides
Simplify. Write the equation with the variable first.
-2x x
y = -2x + 4

9. 4) Solve the following equation for y: 4x - 5y = 7
Draw “the river”
Subtract 4x from both sides
Simplify. Write the equation with the variable first.
Divide both sides by -5
Does the fraction simplify?
-4x x
-5y = -4x + 7

10. 5) Solve the following equation for y: 6x – 2y = 8
Answer Now

11. 6) Make a table and graph the solution set of 4x + 2y = 6.
Draw “the river”
Subtract 4x from both sides
Simplify. Write the equation with the variable first.
Divide both sides by 2
Does the fraction simplify?
-4x x
2y = -4x + 6

12. Let’s use the domain {0, 1, 2} for our equation.
Create a t-table by picking at least three numbers to plug into our equation.
Let’s use the domain {0, 1, 2} for our equation. x 1 2
ordered pair y
-2(0) (0, 3)
-2(1) (1, 1)
-2(2) (2, -1)

13. Draw a line through your points. It should be a straight line.
Graph {(0, 3), (1, 1), (2, -1)} • • •

15. Which is the graph of y = -x + 3?
Test using the slope slider! A B C D A B C D
Answer Now

16. Let’s review tables! Graph y = 2x + 1 using the domain {0, 1, 4}
Make sure the equation is solved for y.
Create a t-table using the domain values.
Plug in the domain values and solve for the range.
Plot the points and connect them to create the line.
x y=2x+1 y 1 4
