Determine the Solution Set
to a Linear Function by
The Slope Method
Given:
2C – 4D = 4 Determine Solutin Set!
Solve Given Function for N:
2C – 4D = +4 –4D = –2C +4 D = +1/2 C – 1
Now: D = mC + b therefore m = + 1 / 2 and
b = –1
Place a triangle
with a rise = 1 and run = 2 with a ( +
) Slope on the D axis at –1
C
D
Check Solution Set with Arbitary Point: C = –2 then D = ?
Substitue C
= –2 into Linear Function and Solve
for D = – 1/2
2C – 4D = +4 +2(–2)
– 4D = +4 –4D = +8 D = –2

Determine the Solution Set
to a Linear Function by The Slope
Method
Given:
+2W + 3Z = -6 Determine
Solution Set! Solve Given Function for
Z:
+2W +3Z = –6
+3Z = –2W +4 Z =
–2/3Z – 2
Now: Z = mW + b therefore m = –2/3 and
b = –2
Place a triangle
with a rise = 2 and run = 3 with a ( – ) Slope
on the Z axis at –2
W
Z
Check Solution Set with Arbitary Point: W = –1 then Z = ?
Substitue W = –1 into Linear Function and Solve for Z = –4/3
+2W +3Z = –6 +2(–1) + 3Z = –6 +3Z = –4 Z = –4/3
