Lesson 9 - Graphing Linear Equations in Two Variables
Dear God,
May we through your blessings, add
purity to the world, subtract evil from our
lives, multiply the good news of your son, and
divide your gifts and share them with others.
Amen.

x (x, 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)
Example: Make a table and graph for
Step 1. Solve for y: Recall: , the slope
𝟑 , the y – intercept
𝒚= 𝒙−𝟐

x (x, y)
Step 2. Choose the x –
values and solve for the
corresponding values of y. -4 (-4, -5)
0 (0, -2)
Step 3. Make a table and
record the ordered pairs.

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

𝒓𝒖𝒏
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.
Complete the table and then graph the line defined by the given points.
