to
Process
where a, b and c are real
numbers with a and b cannot A linear equation
be both equal to zero. If a, b, is a first – degree
and c are integers, the equation and its
equation is in standard form. graph is a straight
line.
Look at the equations on the table.

PONDER
To determine if an ordered pair is a solution to
To construct a table of values given a
the linear equation ax + by = c,
linear equation:
a. substitute x and y with the given values;
a. assign a convenient value for x;
b. simplify the resulting expression then
b. find the corresponding value for y
check if the statement is true.
