What Is It
You have learned earlier that a linear function can be described by its
equation, either in the form of y = mx + b or Ax + By = C. A linear equation
can be also be described by its graph.
Graphing linear equations can be done using any of the four methods:
1. Using two points
2. Using x – and y- intercepts
3. Using the slope and the y- intercept
4. Using the slope and a point
Graph: y = 2x + 1
a) You may assign two values of x, say 0
and 1.
b) By substitution, Solve the value of y.
y =2x +1 y = 2x + 1
y= 2(0) + 1 y = 2(1) + 1
y= 1 y=3
c) So, the ordered pairs are (0.1) and (1,
3). This means that the line passes
through these two points.
d) Plot the two points and connect them.
Using x-intercept and y- intercept
The linear equation can be graphed using the x –intercept (a) and
y – intercept (b). The x value where the graph crosses the x – axis is called
the x - intercept and the y value where the graph crosses the y-axis is
called the y – intercept. The x- and y-intercepts of the line could represent
two points, which are (a, 0) and (0, b). Thus, the intercepts are enough to
graph the linear equation.
Illustrative Example:
Graph: 3x – 2y = 6
a) To solve the x-intercept, let y = 0.
Substitute y = 0 to the given
equation.
3x – 2y = 6
3x – 2(0) = 6
Illustrative Example:
3x = 6
x=2
b) To solve the y-intercept, let x = 0.
Substitute y = 0 to the given
equation.
3x – 2y = 6
3(0) – 2y = 6
2y = 6
y = -3
Thus, the two points are (2, 0)
and (0, -3).
c) Plot the x – intercept in the x –
axis and y- intercept in the y –
axis. Connect them.
Using Slope and Y – intercept
The third method is by using the slope and the y-intercept. This
can be done by identifying the slope and the y-intercept of the linear
equation.
Illustrative Example:
Graph : 3x – 2y = 4
a) Express the equation in slope-
intercept form y = mx + b.
3x - 2y = 4
-2y = -3x + 4
−3 4
y= −2 𝑥 + −2
3
y = 2𝑥 − 2
Graph: y = 2x + 1
a) Express the equation in y = mx + b.
b) Identify the slope.

Slope = 2 means =
𝑟𝑢𝑛 1
c) You may assign one value of x.
Example: x = -1
d) By substitution, solve the value of y.
y = 2x + 1
y = 2(-1) + 1
y = -1
e) So, the ordered pair is (-1,-1)
f) Plot the point.
g) Locate the 2nd point using the slope.
From point (-1,-1), move 2 units
upward (rise) and 1 unit to the right
(run). The 2nd point is (0,1).
h) Mark the second point and connect.
