Terminologies
1. Graph - may be in different forms.
- e.g. of a line joining points plotted between coordinates
2. Perpendicular Lines – intersecting lines that form right angle.

3.] C(2, 8)
4.] D (5, ½)
8.] H (0, 9)
Equations of this type are called linear equations because they generate
straight line graphs when plotted on a Cartesian Coordinate System.
Note that the standard form has x and y terms together on one side, and the
constant is isolated on the other side. The exponent of the x or y variable
should be one, and the equation has no xy term.

1. 3y – 2 = -x
2. 3y – 4x + 6 = 0
4. 3x – 6y = 12
5. 5(x – 2y) = 20
6. 8x = 8y = 24
7. 4(2x – y – 3) + 6y – 5x = x – 6
8. y = - 5x – 8
9. 4y – 4x + 12 = 0
10. 10 = 5(x + y)
11. 5y – 3x + 18 = 6(2x + y)

The steepness of the roof of a house is referred to as the pitch of the roof by
home builders.
Give one reason why some homes have roofs which have a greater pitch.
Definitions of Slope
0 The ratio of vertical change to horizontal change.
0 The change in y over the change in x
c. (-1,2),(-3,0)
d. (-6,4),(-2,0)
m = 5/9
5/3m
KINDS OF SLOPES
Orientation of the line
0A positive slope has a rising line.
0A negative slope has a falling line.
0A zero slope has an horizontal line.
0An undefined slope has a vertical line
SLOPE – INTERCEPT FORM
y = mx + b
where m = slope of the line
b = y – intercept
•1.) y = 8 + 2x
•2.) 2y = 4x + 8
•3.) 3x – 3y = 21
•4.) 22x + 11y = 121
•5.) 12 = 3 ( x + y)
•6.) 8y = 5x – 16
The set of all points that satisfy an equation is called the graph of
the equation.
