Recognize the Relation Between the Graph and the Slope–Intercept Form of an Equation of a Line

We have graphed linear equations by plotting points, using intercepts, recognizing horizontal and vertical lines, and using the bespeak–slope method. In one case we encounter how an equation in slope–intercept course and its graph are related, we'll have one more method we tin can employ to graph lines.

In Graph Linear Equations in 2 Variables, we graphed the line of the equation y=\frac{1}{2}x+3 by plotting points. See (Figure). Allow'due south find the slope of this line.

This figure shows a line graphed on the x y-coordinate plane. The x-axis of the plane runs from negative 8 to 8. The y-axis of the plane runs from negative 8 to 8. The line is labeled with the equation y equals one half x, plus 3. The points (0, 3), (2, 4) and (4, 5) are labeled also. A red vertical line begins at the point (2, 4) and ends one unit above the point. It is labeled

The red lines show u.s.a. the rise is 1 and the run is 2. Substituting into the slope formula:

\begin{array}{ccc}\hfill m& =\hfill & \frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}}\hfill \\ \hfill m& =\hfill & \frac{1}{2}\hfill \end{array}

What is the y-intercept of the line? The y-intercept is where the line crosses the y-axis, so y-intercept is \left(0,3\right). The equation of this line is:

The figure shows the equation y equals one half x, plus 3. The fraction one half is colored red and the number 3 is colored blue.

Notice, the line has:

The figure shows the statement

When a linear equation is solved for y, the coefficient of the x term is the slope and the constant term is the y-coordinate of the y-intercept. We say that the equation y=\frac{1}{2}x+3 is in slope–intercept form.

The figure shows the statement

We accept used a filigree with x and y both going from nigh -10 to 10 for all the equations we've graphed so far. Not all linear equations can exist graphed on this small grid.

Choose the Nigh Convenient Method to Graph a Line

Now that we have seen several methods we tin use to graph lines, how practise we know which method to use for a given equation?

While we could plot points, apply the slope–intercept grade, or notice the intercepts for any equation, if we recognize the near convenient way to graph a sure type of equation, our work volition exist easier. Generally, plotting points is not the most efficient way to graph a line. We saw better methods in sections 4.iii, iv.four, and earlier in this section. Let's look for some patterns to help determine the most convenient method to graph a line.

Here are half-dozen equations nosotros graphed in this chapter, and the method we used to graph each of them.

\begin{array}{cccccccc}& & & \mathbf{\text{Equation}}\hfill & & \phantom{\rule{5em}{0ex}}& & \mathbf{\text{Method}}\hfill \\ \text{#1}\hfill & & & x=2\hfill & & \phantom{\rule{5em}{0ex}}& & \text{Vertical line}\hfill \\ \text{#2}\hfill & & & y=4\hfill & & \phantom{\rule{5em}{0ex}}& & \text{Horizontal line}\hfill \\ \text{#3}\hfill & & & \text{−}x+2y=6\hfill & & \phantom{\rule{5em}{0ex}}& & \text{Intercepts}\hfill \\ \text{#4}\hfill & & & 4x-3y=12\hfill & & \phantom{\rule{5em}{0ex}}& & \text{Intercepts}\hfill \\ \text{#5}\hfill & & & y=4x-2\hfill & & \phantom{\rule{5em}{0ex}}& & \text{Slope-intercept}\hfill \\ \text{#6}\hfill & & & y=\text{−}x+4\hfill & & \phantom{\rule{5em}{0ex}}& & \text{Slope-intercept}\hfill \end{array}

Equations #1 and #two each take but ane variable. Remember, in equations of this grade the value of that ane variable is constant; it does non depend on the value of the other variable. Equations of this grade have graphs that are vertical or horizontal lines.

In equations #iii and #4, both x and y are on the aforementioned side of the equation. These two equations are of the course Ax+By=C. We substituted y=0 to find the x-intercept and x=0 to find the y-intercept, and then plant a third point by choosing another value for x or y.

Equations #5 and #6 are written in slope–intercept course. After identifying the slope and y-intercept from the equation nosotros used them to graph the line.

This leads to the following strategy.

Strategy for Choosing the Nearly Convenient Method to Graph a Line

Consider the form of the equation.

Determine the well-nigh user-friendly method to graph each line.

y=-6 5x-3y=15 x=7 y=\frac{2}{5}x-1.

Graph and Translate Applications of Slope–Intercept

Many real-world applications are modeled by linear equations. We volition take a look at a few applications here and so you can come across how equations written in slope–intercept grade relate to existent-globe situations.

Usually when a linear equation models a real-world situation, different letters are used for the variables, instead of x and y. The variable names remind united states of america of what quantities are existence measured.

The equation F=\frac{9}{5}C+32 is used to catechumen temperatures, C, on the Celsius scale to temperatures, F, on the Fahrenheit scale.

Graph the equation.

Solution

Find F when C=0.
Simplify.
\begin{array}{c}F=\frac{9}{5}C+32\hfill \\ F=\frac{9}{5}\left(0\right)+32\hfill \\ F=32\hfill \end{array}

Find the Fahrenheit temperature for a Celsius temperature of xx.
Find F when C=20.
Simplify.
Simplify.
\begin{array}{c}F=\frac{9}{5}C+32\hfill \\ F=\frac{9}{5}\left(20\right)+32\hfill \\ F=36+32\hfill \\ F=68\hfill \end{array}

Interpret the slope and F-intercept of the equation.

Fifty-fifty though this equation uses Fand C, information technology is still in gradient–intercept form.

This image shows three lines of equations. The first line reads y equals m x plus b. The second line reads F equals m C plus b and the third line reads F equals nine fifths times C plus 32.

The slope, \frac{9}{5}, means that the temperature Fahrenheit (F) increases 9 degrees when the temperature Celsius (C) increases 5 degrees.

The F-intercept means that when the temperature is 0\text{°} on the Celsius scale, it is 32\text{°} on the Fahrenheit calibration.

Graph the equation.

Nosotros'll need to use a larger scale than our usual. Beginning at the F-intercept \left(0,32\right) then count out the rise of 9 and the run of 5 to get a second point. Run into (Figure).

It is for the material and labor needed to produce each item.

Use Slopes to Place Parallel Lines

The gradient of a line indicates how steep the line is and whether information technology rises or falls as nosotros read it from left to correct. Ii lines that take the same slope are chosen parallel lines. Parallel lines never intersect.

The figure shows three pairs of lines side-by-side. The pair of lines on the left run diagonally rising from left to right. The pair run side-by-side, not crossing. The pair of lines in the middle run diagonally dropping from left to right. The pair run side-by-side, not crossing. The pair of lines on the right run diagonally also dropping from left to right, but with a lesser slope. The pair run side-by-side, not crossing.

We say this more formally in terms of the rectangular coordinate system. Ii lines that accept the aforementioned slope and different y-intercepts are chosen parallel lines. See (Figure).

Verify that both lines have the same gradient, m=\frac{2}{5}, and different y-intercepts.

The figure shows two lines graphed on the x y-coordinate plane. The x-axis of the plane runs from negative 8 to 8. The y-axis of the plane runs from negative 8 to 8. One line goes through the points (negative 5,1) and (5,5). The other line goes through the points (negative 5, negative 4) and (5,0).

What nigh vertical lines? The slope of a vertical line is undefined, and then vertical lines don't fit in the definition in a higher place. We say that vertical lines that have different x-intercepts are parallel. See (Figure).

Vertical lines with diferent x-intercepts are parallel.

The figure shows two vertical lines graphed on the x y-coordinate plane. The x-axis of the plane runs from negative 8 to 8. The y-axis of the plane runs from negative 8 to 8. One line goes through the points (2,1) and (2,5). The other line goes through the points (5, negative 4) and (5,0).

Parallel Lines

Parallel lines are lines in the same airplane that exercise not intersect.

Let's graph the equations y=-2x+3 and 2x+y=-1 on the aforementioned filigree. The offset equation is already in slope–intercept grade: y=-2x+3. We solve the 2nd equation for y:

\begin{array}{ccc}\hfill 2x+y& =\hfill & -1\hfill \\ \hfill y& =\hfill & -2x-1\hfill \end{array}

Graph the lines.

The figure shows two lines graphed on the x y-coordinate plane. The x-axis of the plane runs from negative 8 to 8. The y-axis of the plane runs from negative 8 to 8. One line goes through the points (negative 4, 7) and (3, negative 7). The other line goes through the points (negative 2, 7) and (5, negative 7).

Observe the lines look parallel. What is the slope of each line? What is the y-intercept of each line?

\begin{array}{cccccccccc}\hfill y& =\hfill & mx+b\hfill & & \phantom{\rule{5em}{0ex}}& & & \hfill y& =\hfill & mx+b\hfill \\ \hfill y& =\hfill & -2x+3\hfill & & \phantom{\rule{5em}{0ex}}& & & \hfill y& =\hfill & -2x-1\hfill \\ \hfill m& =\hfill & -2\hfill & & \phantom{\rule{5em}{0ex}}& & & \hfill m& =\hfill & -2\hfill \\ \hfill b& =\hfill & 3,\text{(0, 3)}\hfill & & \phantom{\rule{5em}{0ex}}& & & \hfill b& =\hfill & -1,\text{(0, −1)}\hfill \end{array}

The slopes of the lines are the same and the y-intercept of each line is dissimilar. So we know these lines are parallel.

Since parallel lines accept the same slope and different y-intercepts, nosotros can now just look at the slope–intercept course of the equations of lines and decide if the lines are parallel.

Use slopes and y-intercepts to determine if the lines 3x-2y=6 and y=\frac{3}{2}x+1 are parallel.

Apply slopes and y-intercepts to determine if the lines 2x+5y=5\phantom{\rule{0.2em}{0ex}}\text{and}\phantom{\rule{0.2em}{0ex}}y=-\frac{2}{5}x-4 are parallel.

Utilise slopes and y-intercepts to determine if the lines x=-2 and x=-5 are parallel.

Solution

x=-2\phantom{\rule{0.4em}{0ex}}\text{and}\phantom{\rule{0.4em}{0ex}}x=-5

Since in that location is noy, the equations cannot exist put in slope–intercept course. But we recognize them equally equations of vertical lines. Their x-intercepts are -2 and -5. Since their x-intercepts are different, the vertical lines are parallel.

Use slopes and y-intercepts to make up one's mind if the lines x=1 and x=-5 are parallel.

not parallel; same line

Use Slopes to Identify Perpendicular Lines

Let's expect at the lines whose equations are y=\frac{1}{4}x-1 and y=-4x+2, shown in (Figure).

The figure shows two lines graphed on the x y-coordinate plane. The x-axis of the plane runs from negative 8 to 8. The y-axis of the plane runs from negative 8 to 8. One line is labeled with the equation y equals negative 4x plus 2 and goes through the points (0,2) and (1, negative 2). The other line is labeled with the equation y equals one fourth x minus 1 and goes through the points (0, negative 1) and (4,0).

These lines lie in the same airplane and intersect in right angles. We phone call these lines perpendicular.

What practice you notice about the slopes of these two lines? Equally we read from left to right, the line y=\frac{1}{4}x-1 rises, so its slope is positive. The liney=-4x+2 drops from left to right, so it has a negative slope. Does it brand sense to you that the slopes of two perpendicular lines will have reverse signs?

If we expect at the gradient of the offset line, {m}_{1}=\frac{1}{4}, and the slope of the second line, {m}_{2}=-4, nosotros can see that they are negative reciprocals of each other. If we multiply them, their production is -1.

\begin{array}{c}{m}_{1}·{m}_{2}\hfill \\ \frac{1}{4}\left(-4\right)\hfill \\ -1\hfill \end{array}

This is always truthful for perpendicular lines and leads us to this definition.

Perpendicular Lines

Perpendicular lines are lines in the same airplane that form a right bending.

If {m}_{1}\phantom{\rule{0.2em}{0ex}}\text{and}\phantom{\rule{0.2em}{0ex}}{m}_{2} are the slopes of 2 perpendicular lines, then:

{m}_{1}·{m}_{2}=-1\phantom{\rule{0.5em}{0ex}}\text{and}\phantom{\rule{0.5em}{0ex}}{m}_{1}=\frac{-1}{{m}_{2}}

Vertical lines and horizontal lines are always perpendicular to each other.

We were able to look at the slope–intercept form of linear equations and make up one's mind whether or not the lines were parallel. We tin exercise the same matter for perpendicular lines.

We find the slope–intercept form of the equation, and then encounter if the slopes are negative reciprocals. If the production of the slopes is -1, the lines are perpendicular. Perpendicular lines may have the same y-intercepts.

Use slopes to decide if the lines, y=-5x-4 and x-5y=5 are perpendicular.

Solution

The first equation is already in gradient-intercept form. \begin{array}{ccc}\hfill y& =\hfill & -5x-4\hfill \end{array}
Solve the second equation for y. \begin{array}{ccc}\hfill x-5y& =\hfill & 5\hfill \\ \hfill -5y& =\hfill & \text{−}x+5\hfill \\ \hfill \frac{-5y}{-5}& =\hfill & \frac{\text{−}x+5}{-5}\hfill \\ \hfill y& =\hfill & \frac{1}{5}x-1\hfill \end{array}
Identify the slope of each line. \begin{array}{ccc}\hfill y& =\hfill & -5x-4\hfill \\ \hfill y& =\hfill & mx+b\hfill \\ \hfill {m}_{1}& =\hfill & -5\hfill \end{array} \begin{array}{ccc}\hfill y& =& \frac{1}{5}x-1\hfill \\ \hfill y& =\hfill & mx+b\hfill \\ \hfill {m}_{2}& =\hfill & \frac{1}{5}\hfill \end{array}

The slopes are negative reciprocals of each other, so the lines are perpendicular. We check past multiplying the slopes,

\begin{array}{c}{m}_{1}·{m}_{2}\hfill \\ \\ -5\left(\frac{1}{5}\right)\hfill \\ -1✓\hfill \end{array}

Use slopes to determine if the lines y=-3x+2 and x-3y=4 are perpendicular.
