.5 Lesson Lesson Tutorials Ke Vocabular standard form, p. 598 Stud Tip An linear equation can be written in standard form. Standard Form of a Linear Equation The standard form of a linear equation is a + b = c where a and b are not both zero. EXAMPLE Graphing a Linear Equation in Standard Form Graph + = 6. Step : Write the equation in slope-intercept form. + = 6 = 6 Write the equation. Add to each side. = Divide each side b. Step : Use the slope and the -intercept to graph the equation. slope = + ( ) -intercept Check (0, ) Use the slope to plot another point, (, 0). 6 6 The -intercept is. So, plot (0, ). 6 Draw a line through the points. Eercises 5 0 Graph the linear equation. Use a graphing calculator to check our graph.. + =. + = 6. + = 0. + = 5 598 Chapter Graphing and Writing Linear Equations
EXAMPLE Graphing a Linear Equation in Standard Form Graph + = using intercepts. Step : To find the -intercept, To find the -intercept, substitute 0 for. substitute 0 for. + = + = + (0) = 0 + = = = Step : Graph the equation. Check 6 The -intercept is. So, plot (, 0). (, 0) (0, ) 5 6 The -intercept is. So, plot (0, ). Draw a line through the points. EXAMPLE Real-Life Application You have $6 to spend on apples and bananas. (a) Graph the equation.5 + 0.6 = 6, where is the number of pounds of apples and is the number of pounds of bananas. (b) Interpret the intercepts. a. Find the intercepts and graph the equation. -intercept -intercept.5 + 0.6 = 6.5 + 0.6 = 6.5 + 0.6(0) = 6.5(0) + 0.6 = 6 = = 0 (0, 0) 0 5 6 b. The -intercept shows that ou can bu pounds of apples when ou do not bu an bananas. The -intercept shows that ou can bu 0 pounds of bananas when ou do not bu an apples. 8 6.5 0.6 6 (, 0) Eercises 6 8 Graph the linear equation using intercepts.
