  3. Finding an equation from a given graph
  4. Application of quadratic equation to real life situations

 

Linear Graphs

Recall that any equation whose highest power of the unknown is 1 is a linear equation. To draw the graph of a linear equation, we need to

  1. Make a table of value for the equation
  2. Plot the graph of the linear equation

Example:

Draw the graph of \(y = x -1\)

Solution:

\(y = x -1\)

x −2 0 2
−1 −1 −1 −1
y −3 −1 1

Scale:  2cm to 1unit on both axes

Graph of \(y = x -1\)

Drawing Quadratic Graphs

To draw a quadratic graph, we need to also follow the same process of drawing linear graph

Example:

Draw the graph of \(y = x^2 + 2x + 1\)

Solution:

Since \(y = x^2 + 2x + 1\), we shall now make a table for the values of x & y.
