The example, y = 8x + 16, is in slope-intercept form, the easiest to graph.

First, you plot the point (0,16) because 16 is the plain number being added, the y intercept.

Going from that point, you draw a line with slope 8. This means that, from the intercept, you draw a line that goes right 1 box, and up 8 boxes. Once you figure out what it looks like, you can continue the line without counting. This is a steep line.

How do you solve linear equations by graphing them?

Assuming you want to plot two linear equations, you plot the graphs of both, and look where they intersect. One way to plot a linear equation is to convert it to the form y = ax + b; in this case, a is the slope, and b is the y-intercept - the coordinates where the line crosses the y-axis.


When you graph linear equations by plotting points the points you plot should all be what?

... plotted accurately.


Is the plot of current versus frequency symmetrical about the resonant frequency in LRC circuit?

The plot of current vs. frequency is not symmetric because the equations for inductive reactance and capacitive reactance are not symmetric. One is linear and the other is inverse.

No, it's not consider as a linear scatter plot, because, it's non-linear.

How solve systems of equations?

The answer will depend on the nature of the equations and the level of your knowledge.Probably the simplest way to deal with a general problem is to do it graphically. As long as you can calculate the values of the equations, you can plot them and the solutions are a subset of the points of intersection.If the equations are all linear and do have a solution then inverting the matrix of coefficients is probably simplest way. In some respects this is likeselecting one equation,using it to express on variable in terms of the others,substituting the expression for that variable in all the other equations.That reduces the number of equations and variables by one. Continue until you have just one variable whose value you can determine. Substitute this value in one of the last two equations and you will then have two known variables. Go back up the line until you have them all.


What is the definition of linear plot?

if two points are plotted and then the third point falls in line with the other two. i.e. (1,1), (2,2), (3,3). these would create a linear plot.


What is non- linear plot?

A linear line is one that is straight with no curves. A non-linear line would not be perfectly straight and can have many curves.


What does non linear plot mean?
