MODULE 2

INTRODUCTION:
The graph of an equation in two variables x and y consists of the set of points in the
xy-plane whose coordinates satisfy the equation. Graphs play a key role in helping us to
visualize the relationships that exist between two variables or quantities. The relation
between the level of risk in a stock portfolio and the average annual rate of return.

OBJECTIVES:
At the end of the lesson, you should be able to:

2. Find Intercepts from a Graph
3. Find Intercepts from an Equation
4. Test an Equation for Symmetry with Respect to the x-Axis, the y-Axis, and the Origin
5. Know How to Graph Key Equations

6. If the graph of an equation is symmetric with respect to the
y-axis and is an x-intercept of this graph, then____________ is
also an x-intercept.
7. If the graph of an equation is symmetric with respect to the
origin and is a point on the graph, then_____________________

8. True or False - To find the y-intercepts of the graph of an
equation, let and solve for y.
9. True or False -The y-coordinate of a point at which the
graph crosses or touches the x-axis is an x-intercept.
10. True or False- If a graph is symmetric with respect to the
x-axis, then it cannot be symmetric with respect to the
y-axis.
