9897 - Lesson Note On Linear and Quadratic Graph

The document discusses linear and quadratic graphs. For linear graphs, it defines linear equations and describes how to draw a linear graph by plotting points and joining them with a line. It provides an example of drawing a linear graph to show runs scored by McKay in 10 matches. For quadratic graphs, it describes that they are produced by equations of the form y=ax^2 +bx+c, discusses their U or inverted U shape, and provides steps for solving a quadratic graphically including making a table of values and plotting points. It includes an example of drawing the graph of the function y=x^2 +2x -5.

Topic: Linear and Quadratic Graph

Sub-topic: Linear Graph

SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES: At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:

1. Define linear equation


2. Understand the steps in drawing a linear graph
3. Draw a linear graph with given linear equation
4. Understand points in a linear graph

INSTRUCTIONAL RESOURCES

Graph board, graph book, broomsticks, French curve and relevant computer
assisted instructions.

A line graph is used to compare two sets of data that are related in some way.
Most commonly, a line graph is used to show how something changes over time –
maybe over the course of a week, a year, or even longer

The data which changes over a period of time can be displayed through a linear
graph.

In line graph:

● Points are plotted on the graph related to two variables

● Points are joined by the line segments.

How to Construct a Line Graph?

Steps of construction of line graph:

On a graph, draw two lines perpendicular to each other intersecting at O. The


horizontal line is x-axis and vertical line is y-axis. Mark points at equal intervals
along x-axis and write the names of the data items whose values are to be
marked.
Along the y-axis, choose an appropriate scale considering the given values.

Now, make the points

Join each point with the successive point using a ruler. Thus, a line graph is
obtained.

Example 1: The following table gives the information of the sum scored by
McKay in 10 matches. Represent this information using line graph.

Match 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Runs Scored 80 30 50 90 40 60 75 20 15 90
Topic: Linear and Quadratic Graph

Sub-topic: Quadratic graph

At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:

1. Know the various methods of solving quadratic equations


2. Solve quadratics equation using graphical method
3. Make a table of values for the function which contains the values of x
and corresponding values of y
4. Obtain the roots of equations from quadratic graph

Quadratic graphs

A quadratic graph is produced when you have an equation of the form

𝑦 = 𝑎𝑥 2 + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐, where 𝑏 and 𝑐 can be zero but 𝑎 cannot be zero.

All quadratic graphs have a line of symmetry.

Positive quadratic graphs (where 𝑎 > 0) are U-shaped and have a turning point
at the bottom of the curve. Negative quadratic graphs (where𝑎 <) are ∩-shaped
and have a turning point at the top of the curve.

In solving quadratic equations graphically, follow these steps:

• Make a table of values for the function which contains the values of x and
corresponding values of y
• Choose a suitable scale for both x and y axes
• Plot the points on the graph

Example 1: draw the graph of the function y = x2 + 2x – 5 for values of x from -4 to


+3

Solution

X: - 4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3
X2: 16 9 4 1 0 1 4 9

2x: -8 -6 -4 -2 0 2 4 6

-5: -5 -5 -5 -5 -5 -5 -5 -5

Y: 3 -2 -5 -6 -5 -2 3 10

Scale: 2cm represents 1 unit on the x – axis and 1cm represents 2units on the y –
axis
