Pearl River Community College Line Graphing Discussion
What do you need to graph a linear equation? Equations of lines have 2 different formats: a) y = mx + b and b) Ax + By = C. What method would you use to graph each of these equations.This is a two part assignment.1. Find a YouTube video or activity website that teaches/explains how to graph a linear equation in two variables. Post the web address as part of your reply to the discussion board. 2. For the equations, y = 3x + 5 and 2x + 4y = 12, explain what method you would use to graph EACH of these equations. What would you do to graph the line? If you choose 1 method only, explain why you would pick that one method for both. Or, if you choose 1 method for each form, explain each method. This means if you choose one method, explain how you would graph y = 3x + 5 AND 2x + 4y = 12 with that one method. Or, explain how to graph y = 3x + 5 then explain how to graph 4x + 2y = 12. Either way, you will need to explain both forms with a specific method.
