Ex 1: Graph a Linear Equation Using a Table of Values

Guided Notes

3 key concepts

  • 1

    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.

  • 2

    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.

  • 3

    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.
