Linear Equations: Lesson 5 Guided Notes

From the video, how can you tell

when a function is a linear
function?

The bigger the value of slope

becomes, the__________ the
line becomes on the graph
Slope-Intercept
Form:_________

Point-Slope
Form:_____________

General
Form:________________
Convert 3x + 6y-12=0 into Slope-
Intercept form:

Why is it important to know how to convert Graphing

these equations into Slope-Intercept form? Need form y=______ if needed

m= the slope

Classify which equation would help you draw a b=________

graph.
Points on the line are called
ordered pairs
Name______________________

Ordered pairs are represented

as___________

Slope:______________
Choose two points in equation

Find how much it ____ __and

_____between two points on line

Find the Slope and y-intercept

of the following line (on the
left):

Think about it…

If you noticed, your slope was
negative from what you solved in
the last problem. Does the sign
of the slope change the line of
the equation in any way?

Using the Graphic Organizer on

the left, label what you know
about each equation in the
columns discussed so far.

Solving Linear Equations by

Graphing

Solution of two linear is

equations called the ________

Where the two lines meet, the

____________ is the solution

Checking for Understanding Let’s Go back to Mr. Espinoza's

question of saving money for the
concert.

Could you make a linear equation

from the information given? If
so, create one.

Could you conclude that all

situations that deal with money,
supply and demand, and scientific
predictions can be represented
by linear equations? Explain.

Concerts though are not that cheap. The one

Mr. Espinoza want to go costs $100 dollars.
Let's say he decides to save for 3 months to
pay for the concert. He starts putting in $10
the first day to save. Mr. Espinoza can only
save $10 dollars a week.

Will he have enough in 3 months to go to the

concert?

Is there an easier way to visually show how

much is saved per week?
