Intercepts: Graphing Using Intercepts

STOP!

Y

Ex: Graph X + 2y = 4

​

Step 1: Set Y = 0 and solve for X

​

x=2 (0)=4

x=2(0) =4

x=4

​

Step 2: Set X=0 and solve for Y

​

0 + 2y = 4

0 + 2y = 4

        2      2

y=2

​

Step: 3: Put a point on X-axis at x = 4 and a point on Y-axis at y=2

​

​

 

Interval to Plus Minus Notation

= 4.9

STOP!

Convert ( 3.2, 6.6 ) +  +/- notation

​

Step 1: Find the middle of the interval by adding the endpoint and dividing by 2 

​

6.6 + 3.2

       2 

​

Step 2: Find the distance from the middle to the endpoint

​

6.6 - 4.9 = 1.7

​

Step 3: In +/- notation

​

4.9 +/- 1.7

Plotting Points

Ex. Plot (2,3) = (x,y)

​

X tells you how far to go right or left

Y tells you how far to go up or down

​

So, for (2,3), start from the origin.  I'm going:

​

2 units right because x=2

3 units up because y=3

Ex: Plot ( -1, -4)

​

This time, Because X = -1 I'm moving 1 unit left

and because Y = -4, I'm moving 4 units down

Y

Y

3 up, y=3

2 right, x=2

​

(2,3)

(-1,-4)

Graph Through Origin and Slope

Ex: Graph Y = 3x

​

Step 1: Set X=0, Solve for Y

​

Y=3(0)

Y=0

(0,0)

​

Step 2: Set X=1, Solve for Y

​

Y=3(1)

Y=3

(1,3)

​

Step 3: Plot the points. Join with a line.

Y

Ex: Y=1x or X

4

4

Y

Calculate Slope

Ex: Find slop of the line joining (3,-1) and (5,6)

​

b= y2 - y1

      x2 - x1

​

Step 1: Identify the given points, as (X1,Y1) and (X2 Y2)

​

(31 - 1   (5,6)

  X1    Y    X2  Y2

​

Step 2: Write slop formula, plugging in the values

b= y2 - y1

      x2 - x1

=

=

3.5 or 7/2

6 - (-1)

 5  -  3

Use calculator: Shown in video

​

​

6 - (-1)

 5  -  3

Step 1: Set X=0, Solve for Y

​

Y=1/4 (0)

Y=0

(0,0)

​

Step 2: Set X=4 (the denominator of the fraction)

​

Y=1/4 (4)

Y=1/4 (4)

Y=1

(4,1)

​

Step 3: Plot the point. Draw the line.
