Graphing Linear Equations

Recognize the Relation Between the Solutions of an Equation and its Graph

In the following exercises, for each ordered pair, decide:

  1. Is the ordered pair a solution to the equation?
  2. Is the point on the line?

y = x + 4

( 0 , 4 ) ( −1 , 3 )

( 2 , 2 ) ( −2 , 6 )

The graph shows the x y-coordinate plane. The x- and y-axes each run from negative 7 to 7. The line y equals negative x plus 4 is plotted as an arrow extending from the top left toward the bottom right.
