How to Graph linear equations in algebra easily

"How to Graph linear equations in algebra easily" cover image

In this math lesson you will learn how to graph linear inequalities.

Let's graph the following inequality: 4x + y > 4

First, attach the corresponding equation: 4x + y = 4

Then, isolate y by subtracting 4x on both sides:

y = -4x + 4

The slope and y-intercept equation of a line has the following general form:

y = mx + b (where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept)

In this problem the slope is - 4 and the y-intercept is 4.

Next, we have to graph this equation in the coordinate plane by using the slope and the y-intercept. Finally, we can graph the solution of the initial inequality by identifying the correct half plane.
