This document provides instructions for graphing linear equations. It begins with anticipatory questions about solving linear equations. Students are asked to graph the solutions and compare the equations. The document then defines linear equations and explains they graph as straight lines. Examples are given of graphing various linear equations by plotting the solution sets and drawing the line through the points. In the end, students are asked to summarize how the graphed linear equations were similar and different.
