Matching Linear Equations with Graphs

The video tutorial explains how to match given linear equations with lines on a graph. It starts by identifying horizontal and vertical lines, then matches equations with these lines. The tutorial demonstrates using coordinates to test equations and concludes with the final matching of equations to lines.

What is the first step suggested for matching linear equations with lines on a graph?

• Determine the length of each line.

• Identify the slope of each line.

• Check if any lines are horizontal or vertical.

• Calculate the intersection points.

Why can the equation for a horizontal line only have one variable?

• Because it intersects the y-axis.

• Because it represents a constant y-value.

• Because it has no slope.

• Because it represents a constant x-value.

How do you confirm that a horizontal line matches with its equation?

• By checking if the x-values are constant.

• By finding the slope of the line.

• By isolating the x-variable.

• By isolating the y-variable and checking its value.

What strategy is suggested for differentiating between two lines with both x and y variables?

• Choose a point that is shared by both lines.

• Find the intersection of the lines.

• Choose a point that is unique to one line.

• Calculate the slope of each line.

Why is it important to choose a point that is not shared by other lines?

• To ensure the point is on the x-axis.

• To simplify the calculation.

• To avoid confusion with other lines.

• To ensure the point is on the y-axis.

What is the next step after choosing a unique point on a line?

• Find the intersection with another line.

• Substitute the point into one of the equations.

• Determine the length of the line.

• Calculate the slope of the line.

How do you verify if a point satisfies an equation?

• By substituting the point into the equation and checking equality.

• By finding the intersection with the y-axis.

• By calculating the slope at that point.

• By checking if the point lies on the x-axis.

What conclusion can be drawn if a point satisfies an equation?

• The point lies on the line represented by the equation.

• The point is on the y-axis.

• The point is the intersection of two lines.

• The point is on the x-axis.

What might be necessary in some problems to confirm an equation matches a line?

• Checking the length of the line.

• Using a second point for verification.

• Calculating the slope of the line.

• Finding the intersection with another line.

What is the final step in confirming the matches for all lines and equations?

• Verifying each point with multiple equations.

• Calculating the slope of each line.

• Ensuring each line has a unique equation.

• Checking the length of each line.
