Solving Linear Equations by
Graphing (3-2)
Objective: Solve equations by graphing.
Estimate solutions to an equation by graphing.
Solve by Graphing
• A linear function is a function for
which the graph is a line.
• The simplest linear function is
f(x) = x and is called the parent
function of the family of linear
functions.
• A family of graphs is a group of
graphs with one or more similar
characteristics.

Linear Function
• The solution or root of an equation
is any value that makes the
equation true.
• A linear equation has at most one
root.
• You can find the root of an
equation by graphing its related
function.
• To write the related function for an
equation, replace 0 with f(x).
– Linear Equation: 2x – 8 = 0
– Related Function: f(x) = 2x – 8 or
y = 2x – 8
Linear Function
• Values of x for which f(x) = 0 are
called zeros of the function f.
• The zero of a function is located at
the x-intercepts of the function.
• The root of an equation is the value
of the x-intercept.
Linear Function
• Example:




4 is the x-intercept of 2x – 8 = 0.
4 is the solution of 2x – 8 = 0.
4 is the root of 2x – 8 = 0.
4 is the zero of f(x) = 2x – 8.

Linear Function
• For equations with the same
variable on each side of the
equation, use addition or
subtraction to get the terms with
variables on one side.
• Then solve.

and graphically.

Estimate Solutions by Graphing
• Graphing may provide only an
estimate.
• In these cases, solve algebraically
to find the exact solution.
Example 3
•
Kendra’s class is selling greeting cards to raise money
for new soccer equipment. They paid $115 for the
cards, and they are selling each card for $1.75. The
function y = 1.75x – 115 represents their profit y for
selling x greeting cards. Find the zero of this function.
Describe what this value means in this context.

average speed was 45 miles per hour. The
distance that Raphael is from his friend’s
house at a certain moment in the trip can
be represented by d = 150 – 45t, where d
represents the distance in miles and t is
the time in hours. Find the zero of this
function.

in 3 hours.
B. 3 1/3; Raphael will arrive at his friend’s
house in 3 hours and 20 minutes.
