Graphing Linear Equations Vocabulary linear equation rate of change

Graphing Linear Equations A linear equation is an equation whose solutions fall on a line on the coordinate plane. All solutions of a particular linear equation fall on the line, and all the points on the line are solutions of the equation.

Graphing Linear Equations If an equation is linear, a constant change in the x-value corresponds to a constant change in the y-value. The graph shows an example where each time the x-value increases by 3, the y-value increases by 2.

Graphing Linear Equations Additional Example 1 A: Graphing Equations Graph the equation and tell whether it is linear. y = 3 x – 1 +1 x y 0 – 1 +1 1 2 +3 +1 2 5 +3 3 8 +3 Make a table of ordered pairs. Find the differences between consecutive data points.

Graphing Linear Equations Additional Example 1 A Continued The equation y = 3 x – 1 is a linear equation because it is the graph of a straight line and each time x increases by 1 unit, y increases by 3 units.

Graphing Linear Equations Caution! Be careful when graphing each ordered pair. Double check each point you plot.

Graphing Linear Equations Check It Out: Example 1 Continued The equation y = 2 x + 1 is linear equation because it is the graph of a straight line and each time x increase by 1 unit, y increases by 2 units.

Graphing Linear Equations A rate of change is a ratio that compares the amount of change in a dependent variable to the amount of change in an independent variable. The rates for a set of data may vary, or they may be constant.

Graphing Linear Equations Additional Example 3: Sports Application A lift on a ski slope rises according to the equation a = 130 t + 6250, where a is the altitude in feet and t is the number of minutes that a skier has been on the lift. Five friends are on the lift. What is the altitude of each person if they have been on the ski lift for the times listed in the table? Draw a graph that represents the relationship between the time on the lift and the altitude.

Graphing Linear Equations Additional Example 3 Continued The altitudes are: Anna, 6770 feet; Tracy, 6640 feet; Kwani, 6510 feet; Tony, 6445 feet; George, 6380 feet. This is a linear equation because when t increases by 1 unit, a increases by 130 units. Note that a skier with 0 time on the lift implies that the bottom of the lift is at an altitude of 6250 feet.

Graphing Linear Equations Check It Out: Example 3 In an amusement park ride, a car travels according to the equation D = 1250 t where t is time in minutes and D is the distance in feet the car travels. Below is a chart of the time that three people have been in the cars. Graph the relationship between time and distance. How far has each person traveled?
