Graphing linear equations is an important skill to learn in mathematics. It helps to visualise equations so that equations can be interpreted and understood better. This worksheet provides an introduction to graphing linear equations and provides students with practice to become proficient in this mathematical skill.

What is a Graphing Linear Equation?

A linear equation is an equation in which each of the variables is a power of the same variable. The equation can be written in the form: y = mx + b, where m and b are constants. The equation is said to be linear since the graph of the equation is a straight line. A linear equation can be graphed by plotting points on a graph and connecting them with a line.

How to Graph a Linear Equation?

Graphing linear equations is a process of plotting points and connecting them with a line. The first step is to identify the slope of the equation, which is the coefficient of the x-term. Once the slope is known, it is possible to plot the intercepts, which are the points where the line crosses the x-axis and y-axis. The intercepts can be calculated by setting the equation equal to zero and solving for x and y. After the intercepts are determined, additional points on the graph can be calculated using the equation. All points can be plotted on the graph and connected with a line.
