Graphical Visualisation of Linear Polynomials
Graphical visualisation means representing the solutions of a linear equation in two variables as points on the Cartesian plane. These points lie on a straight line.
Practice This ConceptMain explanation
Teacher explanation
To draw the graph of a linear equation, choose convenient values of one variable, find the corresponding values of the other variable, make ordered pairs, and plot them. Joining the points gives a straight line. Every point on the line represents a solution of the equation.
Example
For x + y = 5, points such as (0, 5), (2, 3), and (5, 0) lie on the same straight line.
Simple analogy
Equation gives many points; graph joins them into one straight line.
Common confusion
Students sometimes plot (x, y) as (y, x), which places the point in the wrong position.
Exam tip
Use at least two correct points to draw a straight line, and label axes, scale, points, and the equation of the line.
