the prayer?

Good morning, class! Good morning, teacher Hannah.

How are you today? We’re fine teacher.

It is great to hear that you are all

fine. And now, let’s check your
attendance first. Who is absent
today? No one teacher!

Very good, students. Keep it up!

B. Motivation

So, at this moment I’ve have

prepared a situation here. All the
things you will do is to read it. (Janill read it loudly and clear.)
Kindly read loudly, please Janill.

Lee and Jasmin are

instructed to bring 12
balloons to decorate in the
room.
If Lee brought in 9 balloons
then how many balloons will
Jasmin bring in? What if Lee
brought in 2 balloons? How
about if Jasmin brought 5
balloons?
Thank you, Janill for reading it.
 Now, I have a question, If Lee and
Jasmin are instructed to bring 12
balloons to decorate in the room.
Then, if Lee brought 9 balloons
then how many balloons will 3 teacher.
Jasmin bring in?

Correct! What if Lee brought 2 10 teacher.

balloons only?

Right! This time, if Jasmin brought 7 teacher.

in 5 balloons then how many
balloons will Lee bring in?

Exactly! We can analyzed the

problem easily mentally, so that we
find the answer of the question
directly through subtracting 12
minus 9 then we get 3. But if the (Let the student listen carefully and allow
problem given is more conflicting, them to participate during this process in
then I would be difficult for us answering the problem.)
answer it. To find the answer of the
question, let answer it by using a
formula. So, we have;
x = no. of balloons Lee brought in
y = no. of balloons Jasmin brought
in
x + y = 12
In the given situation, first it asked,
If Lee brought in 9 balloons, how
many will Jasmin bring in? So, we
have;

9 + y = 12
-9 + 9 + y = 12 - 9
y=3

Next, If Lee brought in 9 balloons,

how many will Jasmin bring in?
So, we have;

2 + y = 12
-2 + 2 + y = 12 - 2
y = 10

Then, lastly, If Jasmin brought in 5

balloons, how many will Lee bring
in? So, we have;

x + 5 = 12
x + 5 – 5 = 12 – 5
x=7

C. Presentation

That’s we can get the answer using

a formula, with this, I can help us (Lawrence read the objectives.)
to easier understand our lesson this
morning about: “Linear Equation in Objectives:
Two Variables” but before that we After going this lesson, the students
will have our objectives. Please are expected to:

A and B is not equal to 0, and C is
Linear Equation in Two Variables constant.

Ax + By = C For examples:
Standard form of linear equation
where A and B is not equal to 0, 1. x + y = 12
and C is constant.
2. 3x + 5y = 10
For examples: A = 3, B = 5, C = 10

3. 5x – 2y = -20
1. x + y = 12
A = 5, B = -2, C = -20
2. 3x + 5y = 10
4. x2 + 5x – 2y = 20
A = 3, B = 5, C = 10
x 2 + 5x – 2y = 20
3. 5x – 2y = -20 It is not linear because of the
A = 5, B = -2, C = -20 exponent is 2.

4. x2 + 5x – 2y = 20 Student: Yes, teacher, why is that the

x 2 + 5x – 2y = 20 given example 4 is not a linear equation?
It is not linear because of
the exponent is 2.

Do you have a questions, class?

To answer that, first, a linear must

only have a straight line when we
plot it in the Cartesian Plane, Yes, teacher.
second it should be only one
exponent which is one. If the
exponent is 2 which is in the
example 4 then that is an example
of a quadratic equation. Do you
understand it now, class?

It is good to know that you really

understand what a linear equation
is. Then, lets proceed to “Rewriting
Linear Equation Ax + By = C in
the Form y = mx + b and Vice
Versa.”
So, an equation of the form Ax +
By = C can be written in the form y
= mx + b.

A linear equation is an equation in

two variables which can be written
in two forms:
Standard Form: Ax + By = C
Slope–Intercept Form:
y = mx + b,
where m = slope
b = y - intercept
so, we have here an illustrative
examples:

(Recall the given examples both

about writing the linear equation

E. Generalization

Okay, but before that let’s have a

recap. (Explain the given problem
in the group activity.)

Where did you find difficult in

rewriting the equation? Solutions/Answers:
1. x + 2y = 4
(It depend upon the students x + 2y = 4
question about their difficulties in x + (-x) + 2y = 4 + (- x)
rewriting the equation.) 2y = -x + 4
2y/2 = - x + 4/ 2
Did you understand our lesson? y = - ½ x + 2
