Lesson 9: Graphing Linear
Equations in Two Variables
Objectives:
 Illustrates linear equations in two variables. (M8AL-Ie-
3)
 Writes the linear equation ax + by = c in the form y =
mx + b and vice versa. (M8AL-If-1)
 Graphs a linear equation given (a) any two points; (b)
the x– and y– intercepts; (c) the slope and a point on
the line. (M8AL-If-2)
 Describes the graph of a linear equation in terms of its
intercepts and slope. (M8AL-If-3)
Which of the following equations is
linear in two variables?
Yes, and are each in degree .
Not linear since the degree of is .
Yes, and are each in degree .
Not linear since the degree of is .
Yes, and are both in degree .
No. is in degree .
 The Equation
In example e, , is a common form of the equation of a line called the
standard form, , where A, B, and C are real numbers such that A and
B are both not equal to zero. By convention, we make

Here are the steps in graphing

1. Solve the equation for y.
2. Choose values for x, substitute each value in the equation and
find the correct corresponding value for y.
3. Make a table and record the ordered pairs.
4. Plot the ordered pairs and connect the points.
 Example: Make a table and graph for .
Step 1. Solve for y: Recall: , the slope
𝒚 =−𝟒 𝒙 − 𝟐 , the y – intercept
Step 2. Choose the x – values and
solve for the corresponding values
of y.

Step 3. Make a table and
record the ordered pairs. -1 (-1, 2)

0 (0, -2)
Step 4. Plot the ordered
pairs and connect the
points. 1 (1, -6)

Step 2. Choose the x –
values and solve for the
corresponding values of y. -4 (-4, -5)

The Equation
In example a, , is the most common form of the equation of a line. It is of the
form , which is referred to as the slope – intercept form, where m is the slope and
b is the y – intercept.

The steps in graphing linear equation using the slope and intercept
are as follows:
1. Write the equation in the form .
2. Plot the y – intercept b at (0, b).
3. From the y – intercept, plot another point using the slope

4. Draw the line through the two points.
5. Use a third point to check.
Example: Graph using the slope – intercept form.
Step 1. Solve for y: Slope:
𝒚 =−𝟑 𝒙+𝟐
y – intercept:
Step 2. The y – intercept is 2. Plot the point (0, 2).
Step 3. From the point, use the slope, , to locate another point.

Step 4. Draw a line through the two points.

Step 5. Use a third point on the graph to check.

Example: Graph using the slope – intercept form.
Step 1. Solve for y: Slope:
𝟒 y – intercept:
𝒚= 𝒙−𝟓
𝟑

Step 2. The y – intercept is 2. Plot the point (0, -5).

Step 3. From the point, use the slope, , to locate another point.

Step 4. Draw a line through the two points.

Step 5. Use a third point on the graph to check.
