Equations, Tables, and Graphs! Oh my!
Linear equations make a straight _______________! Which of the following graphs represent linear equations?
When we have an equation
we can make a ________________________ and a ______________. 1. A local restaurant charges $3 for a hamburger, plus $0.50 for each topping. This relationship can be represented by the equation: y = .5x + 3 (x represents the number of toppings, y represents the total cost) Table of Values x y Graph
2. The school is having a carnival fundraiser. To get in the carnival, you must pay a $1 admission fee. Each game costs $2. The equation y = x + 2 represents this relationship. (x is the number of games, y is total cost) Table of Values x y Graph
3. Kellys parents pay her $2.00 for every chore she completes. The equation y = 2x represents the amount of money (y) that she will earn after completing x amount chores. Table of Values x y Graph
When we have a table of values
we can make an ___________________ and a ______________.
Look at the first x value and first y value in the table. List the possible relationships. 1+3=4 1x4=4
x y
1 4
2 5
3 6
4 7
Now see if one of those relationships works for the rest of the pairs. Which relationship matches the table? Use the table of values to create a graph.
Now we can write the equation. y=
Write linear equations for the following tables and graph the equations. 4. 5.
x y y=
1 3
2 6
3 9
4 12
x y
y=
