Then 4 = x – 3y becomes 4 = x – 3(1) (replace y with 1) 4 = x – 3 (simplify the right side)4 + 3 = x (add 3 to both sides) 7 = x (simplify the left side)So the third solution is (7, 1).xyAnd then we draw the line that contains the three points.Now we plot the two intercepts (0, ) and (4, 0) along with the third solution (7, 1).34(4, 0)(7, 1)(0, )34Graph 2x = y by plotting intercepts.To find the y-intercept, let x = 0. 2(0) = y 0 = y, so the y-intercept is (0,0).To find the x-intercept, let y = 0. 2x = 0 x = 0, so the x-intercept is (0,0).Oops! It’s the same point. What do we do?ExampleSince we need at least 2 points to graph a line, we will have to find at least one more point.Let x = 3 (Again, you can pick any value for x that you want.) 2(3) = y 6 = y, so another point is (3, 6).Let y = 4 2x = 4 x = 2, so another point is (2, 4).Example (cont.)Now we plot all three of the solutions (0, 0), (3, 6) and (2, 4).xy(3, 6)(0, 0)(2, 4)And then we draw the line that contains the three points.Graph y = 3.Note that this line can be written as y = 0•x + 3.The y-intercept is (0, 3), but there is no x-intercept! (Since an x-intercept would be found by letting y = 0, and 0 can’t equal 0•x + 3, there is no x-intercept.)Every value we substitute for x gives a y-coordinate of 3.The graph will be a horizontal line through the point (0,3) on the y-axis.Examplexy(0, 3)Example (cont.)Graph x = -3.This equation can be written x = 0•y – 3.When y = 0, x = -3, so the x-intercept is (-3,0), but there is no y-intercept.Any value we substitute for y gives an x-coordinate of –3.So the graph will be a vertical line through the point (-3,0) on the x-axis.Examplexy(-3, 0)Example (cont.)Example from today’s homework:Vertical lines•Appear in the form of x = c, where c is a real number.•x-intercept is at (c, 0), no y-intercept unless c = 0 (y-axis).Horizontal lines•Appear in the form of y = c, where c is a real number.•y-intercept is at (0, c), no x-intercept unless c = 0 (x-axis).Using the online graphing tool:When the problem asks you to graph x- and y-intercepts, you MUST graph these two points.For example, in this problem, you would have to graph (0, 1) and (-4, 0). If you used (0, 1) and (4, 2), you’d get the same line, but the computer would mark your answer wrong.Solving for y gives: y= 1/5 x + 3/5Choose x = 2 to get y = 2/5 + 3/5 = 5/5 = 1Choose x = 7 to get y = 7/5 + 3/5 = 10/5 = 2Or choose x = -3 to get y = -3/5 + 3/5 = 0/5 = 0Note: The homework for this section shouldn’t take too long, so you might want to look ahead at section 3.4 on slopes of lines and section 3.5 on slope-intercept equations of lines.Reminder:This homework assignment on Section 3.3 is due at the start of next class period.(This assignment is entirely online, with no worksheet. However, you should do the work for each problem in your notebook and keep these notes to study for quizzes and tests.)You may now OPEN your LAPTOPSand begin working on the homework
