Graphing Techniques: T-Charts and Solving for Y

What is the first step in getting ready for graphing equations?

• Finding the slope

• Manipulating or changing equations

• Drawing the graph

• Solving for x

When solving for y, what should you do if the equation is in standard form?

• Leave it as it is

• Convert it to slope-intercept form

• Multiply by x

• Add a constant

In the equation 3y = 6 - 2x, what is the next step after subtracting 2x?

• Subtract 6

• Multiply by 3

• Divide by 3

• Add 2x to both sides

What is the slope-intercept form of the equation y = -2/3x + 2?

• y = -2/3x + 2

• y = 2/3x - 2

• y = 3x - 2

• y = mx + b

When graphing using a T-chart, what does the coordinate (x, y) represent?

• The slope of the line

• The y-intercept

• A point on the graph

• The x-intercept

Which values are typically good to plug into a T-chart for graphing?

• Small numbers and zero

• Negative numbers only

• Positive numbers only

• Large numbers

How do you handle fractions in equations when graphing?

• Ignore the fractions

• Convert them to decimals

• Use multiples of the denominator

• Add them to the numerator

What is the result of multiplying -3/4 by -4?

• 2

• 0

• 3

• 1

When using given T-charts, what is the main task?

• Finding the slope

• Creating new T-charts

• Solving for y

• Plugging in numbers and graphing

In the equation y = -x, what is the value of y when x = -7?

• -7

• 0

• 7

• 14
