I have a chance to refresh back my mind, so what was it? It had refreshed my mind when I was using the table of values as the chart, it is thanks to the rule that we can see in our pattern. As for example, we have, 3x -1 as the rule. This can help us to substitute the x to (0).

Which would make the equation of 3(0)-1 as that would turn into 0-1 to view as y= -1. In that point, we can substitute the variable of x to many different numbers if they were asking what’s the independent. As, we should remember that the independent variable would be an input and the domain. While the dependent variable is talking about the image that comes out, which result in being the output for us to solve.

How did we see the pattern? If you look at the y-axis, it starts at -7, and they were going down by three.

As for graphing, we would plot down the ordered pairs on the graph. It is followed by the y-axis, which leads to being on the vertical line. And the x-axis of their point on the horizontal line.

This is the graph I have created in the platform of https://www.desmos.com/calculator/l4zr3o9jiz

• The origin is the ordered pair on the central of the graph. We describe it as (0,0), because the x = 0, and we have y who is also 0, which they are intersecting from together.
• There are four quadrants, which they go in counterclockwise from the top right corner.
• Once, we have figured out the dots on our graph, we then connect it with a straight line and arrows that point out this is a linear relation. However, if this was to form in a curved line, then it would be a non-linear relation to describe it as that.

Now, we learned the simple steps. We can also expand our illustrations to do mapping and using the data to point our ordered pairs. And always know that the dependent variable goes to the vertical line, while the independent variable would be in the horizontal line, because we are talking about amounts that would impact our result in the dependent variable. It gives me a connection that we want the dots to be high enough to connect a line. This would make an accurate result for your teachers to understand your data.
