Guided Notes
Key concepts students will learn:
- •
To graph a linear equation using a table of values, you can select any x value and substitute it into the equation to find the corresponding y value.
- •
It is best practice to find at least three points when graphing a line; if the points don't form a line, you know you've made an error.
- •
After plotting the points from your table of values, draw a line that passes through all the points to represent the graph of the linear equation.
