Graphing Linear Functions
Examples 1–4
Graph each equation by making a table.
1. y = 2x – 3 2. x = y + 4
x y x y
3. x = 3 4. y = –3x + 1
x y x y
5. y = 0.5x + 2 6. y = 4
x y x y
1
7. y = –x + 1 8. 𝑦 = − 3 𝑥 − 1
x y x y
9. y = –3 10. y = 8 – 2x
x y x y
1 12. x = –1
11. 𝑦 = 𝑥

x y x y
Example 5
Graph each equation by using the x- and y-intercepts.
13. y = 2x + 2 14. y = –3x + 1 15. 2x + 3y = 12

19. CONTEST A radio station has $400 to give away for a contest. It gives away a $50 prize each week. The equation
y = 400 – 50x represents the amount y the radio station has left to give away after x weeks.
a. Find the x- and y-intercepts and interpret their meaning in the context of the situation.
20. LOAN Ross borrows $5625 to buy a car. He pays back $125 each month. The equation y = 5625 – 125x represents
that amount Ross owes y after x months.
a. Find the x- and y-intercepts and interpret their meaning in the context of the situation.
