1. Make sure the linearequation is in the formy = mx + b.
This is called the y-intercept form, and it's probably the
easiest form to use to graph linear equations. The values in
the equation do not need to be whole numbers. Often you'll
see an equation that looks like this: y = 1/4x + 5, where 1/4
is m and 5 is b.
•m is called the "slope,"
or sometimes
"gradient." Slope is
defined as rise over run,
or the change in y over
the change in x.
•b is defined as the "y-
intercept." The y-
intercept is the point at
which the line crosses
the Y-axis.
•x and y are both variables.
You can solve for a specific
value of x, for example, if you
have a y point and know
the m and b values. x, however,
is never merely one value: its
value changes as you go up or
down the line.
2. Plot the b number on the Y-axis.
Your b is always going to be a rational number.
Just whatever number b is, find its equivalent on
the Y-axis, and put the number on that spot on
the vertical axis.
•For example, let's take the
equation y = 1/4x + 5. Since
the last number is b, we know
that b equals 5. Go 5 points up
on the Y-axis and mark the
point. This is where your
straight line will pass through
the Y-axis.
3. Convert m into a fraction.
Often, the number in front of x is already a
fraction, so you won't have to convert it. But if
it isn't, convert it by simply placing the value
ofm over 1.
•The first number
(numerator) is the rise in
rise over run. It's how far
the line travels up, or
vertically.
•The second number
(denominator) is
the run in rise over run.
It's how far the line
travels to the side, or
horizontally.
•For example:
•A 4/1 slope travels 4 points up for
every 1 point over.
•A -2/1 slope travels 2 points down for
every 1 point over.
•A 1/5 slope travels 1 points up for
every 5 points over.
4. Start extending the line from b using slope, or rise
over run.
Start at your b value: we know that the equation
passes through this point. Extend the line by taking
your slope and using its values to get points on the
equation.
•For example, using the illustration above,
you can see that for every 1 point the line
rises up, it travels 4 to the right. That's
because the slope of the line is 1/4. You
extend the line indefinitely along both
sides, continuing to use rise over run to
graph the line.
•Whereas positive-value slopes travel
upward, negative-value slopes travel
downward. A slope of -1/4, for example,
5. Continue extending the line, using a ruler and
being sure to use the slope, m, as a guide.
Extend the line indefinitely and you're done
graphing your linear equation. Pretty easy,
isn't it?

Graphing of Linear Equation in Two Variables

  • 1.
  • 2. 1. Make sure the linearequation is in the formy = mx + b. This is called the y-intercept form, and it's probably the easiest form to use to graph linear equations. The values in the equation do not need to be whole numbers. Often you'll see an equation that looks like this: y = 1/4x + 5, where 1/4 is m and 5 is b.
  • 3. •m is called the "slope," or sometimes "gradient." Slope is defined as rise over run, or the change in y over the change in x.
  • 4. •b is defined as the "y- intercept." The y- intercept is the point at which the line crosses the Y-axis.
  • 5. •x and y are both variables. You can solve for a specific value of x, for example, if you have a y point and know the m and b values. x, however, is never merely one value: its value changes as you go up or down the line.
  • 6. 2. Plot the b number on the Y-axis. Your b is always going to be a rational number. Just whatever number b is, find its equivalent on the Y-axis, and put the number on that spot on the vertical axis.
  • 7. •For example, let's take the equation y = 1/4x + 5. Since the last number is b, we know that b equals 5. Go 5 points up on the Y-axis and mark the point. This is where your straight line will pass through the Y-axis.
  • 8. 3. Convert m into a fraction. Often, the number in front of x is already a fraction, so you won't have to convert it. But if it isn't, convert it by simply placing the value ofm over 1.
  • 9. •The first number (numerator) is the rise in rise over run. It's how far the line travels up, or vertically.
  • 10. •The second number (denominator) is the run in rise over run. It's how far the line travels to the side, or horizontally.
  • 11. •For example: •A 4/1 slope travels 4 points up for every 1 point over. •A -2/1 slope travels 2 points down for every 1 point over. •A 1/5 slope travels 1 points up for every 5 points over.
  • 12. 4. Start extending the line from b using slope, or rise over run. Start at your b value: we know that the equation passes through this point. Extend the line by taking your slope and using its values to get points on the equation.
  • 13. •For example, using the illustration above, you can see that for every 1 point the line rises up, it travels 4 to the right. That's because the slope of the line is 1/4. You extend the line indefinitely along both sides, continuing to use rise over run to graph the line. •Whereas positive-value slopes travel upward, negative-value slopes travel downward. A slope of -1/4, for example,
  • 14. 5. Continue extending the line, using a ruler and being sure to use the slope, m, as a guide. Extend the line indefinitely and you're done graphing your linear equation. Pretty easy, isn't it?
