STEPS IN GRAPHING LINEAR EQUATIONS USING THE TABLE OF VALUES

1. construct a table of values

2. complete the table
3. plot the ordered pairs
4. connect the points
5. name the graph
Consider the following examples
X 3 0 -3
1. Graph the equation 2x+3y =6 Y 0 2 4 ∴𝑜𝑟𝑑𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑑𝑝𝑎𝑖𝑟 (3,0) , (0,2) , (−3,4)
2x+3y=6 2x+3y=6 2x+3y=6
. (-3,4) 2x+3y =6

.
if x=3 if x=0 if x=-3
2x + 3y = 6 2x + 3y = 6 2x + 3y = 6 (0,2)
2(3) + 3y= 6
6 + 3y= 6
3y=6 - 6
3y=0
2(0) + 3y= 6
0 + 3y= 6
3y=6 - 0
3y=6
2(-3) + 3y= 6
-6 + 3y= 6
3y=6 + 6
3y=12
.
(3,0)

y=0 y=2 y=4

 X 2 0 -4
2. Graph x+2y=4 Y 1 2 4
∴𝑜𝑟𝑑𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑑𝑝𝑎𝑖𝑟  (2,1) , (0,2) , (−4,4 )

.
x+2y=4 x+2y=4 x+2y=4
(-4,4)
if x=2 if x=0 if x=-4
x + 2y = 4
2+ 2y= 4
2y= 4 – 2
x + 2y = 4
0+ 2y= 4
2y= 4 – 0
x + 2y = 4
-4 + 2y= 4
2y= 4 + 4
. .
(0,2)
(2,1)
2y=2 2y=4 2y=8

y=1 y=2 y=4

x+2y=4
 Using x-intercept and y-intercept
3. Graph the equation 2x+3y=6

x-intercept? ; y=0 y-intercept? ; x=0

2x+3y=6 2x+3y=6
2x + 3y = 6
.
(0,2)
2x+3y =6

.
2x + 3y = 6
2x + 3(0) = 6
2(0) + 3y= 6
2x + 0 = 6
0+ 3y= 6– 0 (3,0)
2x= 6 – 0
3y=6
2x=6
y=2
x= 3

∴ 𝑜𝑟𝑑𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑑 𝑝𝑎𝑖𝑟 (3 , 0) ∴ 𝑜𝑟𝑑𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑑 𝑝𝑎𝑖𝑟 ( 0,2)

Using x-intercept and y-intercept
4. Graph the equation x+2y=5
x-intercept? ; y=0 y-intercept? ; x=0
x+2y=5 x+2y=5

x + 2y = 5
.
(0,2.5)

.
x + 2y = 5
x + 2(0) = 5 0+ 2y= 5 x+2y =5 (5,0)
x+0=5 2y= 5 – 0
x= 5 – 0 2y=5
x= 5
y = 2.5

∴ 𝑜𝑟𝑑𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑑 𝑝𝑎𝑖𝑟 (5 , 0) ∴ 𝑜𝑟𝑑𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑑 𝑝𝑎𝑖𝑟 (0 , 2.5)

 X -2 0 2
5. Graph the equation y=2x
Y -4 0 4 ∴𝑜𝑟𝑑𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑑𝑝𝑎𝑖𝑟  ( −1,−2) , (0,0) , (1,2)

If x=-2 If x=0
. (2,4)

.
y = 2x y = 2x If x=2
y= 2(-2) y= 2(0) y = 2x
y= 2(2)
(0,0)
y= -4 y= 0
y= 4

(-2,-4)
. y = 2x
6. graph the equation x=3 ∴ 𝑜𝑟𝑑𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑑 𝑝𝑎𝑖𝑟 (3 , 0)

7. graph the equation y= -2 ∴ 𝑜𝑟𝑑𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑑 𝑝𝑎𝑖𝑟 (0 ,− 2)

PRACTICE TASK:
Graph the following equations using table of values

x -4 -1 1
1. y = x + 3
x -1 0 1
2. y = 3x

x -2 0 2
3. y-2x=1

Use the x & y intercept to graph items 4 & 5

4. y = -3x + 2
5. x + 2y = 4
