Warm Up
Write an equation for each function. Tell what
each variable you use represents.
1. The length of a wall is 4 ft more than
three times the height.
l = 3h + 4, where l is length and h is height.
2. The number of trading cards is 3 less
than the number of buttons.
c = b – 3, where c is the number of cards
and b is the number of buttons.

Check if an ordered pair is a solution of
an equation by putting the x and y
values into the equation to see if they
make it a true statement.

Additional Example 2: Checking Solutions of
Equations with Two Variables
Determine whether the ordered pair is a
solution to the given equation.
(3, 21); y = 7x
y = 7x
?
21 = 7(3)
Write the equation.
Substitute 3 for x and 21 for y.
?
21 = 21 
So (3, 21) is a solution to y = 7x.

Graphing Functions
You can also graph the solutions of an
equation on a coordinate plane. When
you graph the ordered pairs of some
functions, they form a straight line. The
equations that express these functions
are called linear equations.
