Pick a value for x. It can be anything you like, but 0, 1, or some other small integer usually works well and makes the arithmetic easier.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 2. Substitute that value in place of x in your equation. Do the arithmetic and determine the value of y that results.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 3. Take the value of x that you selected for step 1 and the value of y that you calculated in step 2 and form an ordered pair (x,y).\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 4. Plot the ordered pair from Step 3 on your graph. Remember that the x value is the distance right or left along the horizontal axis and the y value is the distance up or down along the vertical axis.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 with a different value for x.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 6. Draw a line across your graph that passes through the two points that you plotted.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Make a solution set table: Use the coordinates from the two ordered pairs created above to make two of the solutions for your table. Then repeat steps 1 through 4 to create the third solution.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Intercepts: If one of your solutions above has an x-coordinate of 0, then you have the y-intercept already. If not, choose 0 for an x value and repeat steps 1 through 4 above. Then substitute 0 for y and solve for x to get the x-intercept. Remember, intercepts are points so they have to be specified with an ordered pair. The x-intercept looks like (a,0) and the y-intercept looks like (0,b)\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Slope: Solve the equation for y in terms of everything else. In this case, all you have to do is add 2x to both sides. When the equation looks like y = mx + b, then the coefficient on x gives the slope.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "John \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
