1 Chapter 8 Graphs and Functions: Cartesian axes, coordinates and points 8.1 Pictorially we plot points and graphs in a plane (flat space) using a set of Cartesian axes traditionally called the x and y axes to locate points on it. See diagram below The vertical axis is the y axis and the horizontal axis is the x axis. Any point in this plane has a set of numbers called an ordered pair, which is a set of coordinates that locate a point in the plane. In the diagram above the top right point has coordinates (x=5,y=7) i.e. 5 units on the x axis and 7 units on the y axis. It is in quadrant 1. However because we always write the x coordinate first we just write (5,7) instead of (x=5,y=7). The top right quadrant is quadrant 1, then going anticlockwise we get the other 3 quadrants. For example the bottom left point has coordinates (-5,-6) i.e. -5 units on the x axis and -6 units on the y axis. It is in quadrant 3. E8.1 Give the coordinates of the point in the (i) second quadrant (ii) fourth quadrant A8.1 The point in the (i) second quadrant is (-5,4). (ii) fourth quadrant is (3,-5). 8.2 The point (3,-2) is located 3 units to the right and 2 units below the origin. It is in the 4 th (bottom right) quadrant. E8.2 Complete the Table below on the location of a point relative to the origin. The first row has been done for you. Location Coordinates Quadrant 3 to the right and 2 (3,-2) 4 th below origin 87

There is only one solution, x = 2. Now consider the equation, x + y =10. It has two unknowns and we can produce many solutions by inspection such as x = 5 and y = 5, x = 0 and y = 10, x = 1 and y = 9. Also solutions with negative values such as x = -4 and y = 14 etc. Why does the first equation have one solution and the second equation have an infinite number? The reason is that the first equation has just one unknown, x whereas the second equation has two unknowns x and y and yet we have just one piece of information. E8.3 How many solutions do the following equations have? 88
3 (i) 2x + 7 = 9. Identify it. (ii) 5x + 6y = 10 Can you identify some of them? A8.3 (i) 2x + 7 = 9. Has 1 solution, x = 1. (ii) 5x + 2y = 10. Has an infinite number of solutions e.g. (2,0), (0,5), (1,2.5) etc. Can you identify some of them? 8.4 Since 1 equation with two unknowns has an infinite number of solutions we can produce a graph by plotting the set of solutions on a set of Cartesian axes. Here are some solutions to the equation: y = 2x + 3 (0,3) because y = 3 when x = 0. (2,7) because y = 7 when x = 2. (-3, -3) because when x = -3, y = -3. E8.4 Complete the following coordinates for some of the solutions of the equation: y = 2x + 3 (-2, ) ; (-3, ) ; (-1, ) ; (1, ) ; (, 4) ; (, -3) ; (0, ) Plot the points on the axes given below A8.4 Complete the following coordinates for some of the solutions of the equation: y = 2x + 3 (-2,-1) ; (-3,-3) ; (-1,1) ; (1,5) ; (0.5, 4) ; (-3, -3) ; (0,3) 89
4 Linear graphs 8.5 What is the graph of the entire solution set? It is a straight line as shown below: Graph of y =2x + 3 E8.5 Examine the graph and identify the points where the graph crosses the y axis and the x axis. Graph crosses y axis at (0,3) and cross the x axis at (-1.5,0) In graphing the equation, y = 2x + 3 let s see what the significance of the coefficient of 2 and and the constant term 3 is. Note the 2 is the coefficient of the x term (linear term) and the 3 is the constant term. First consider the constant term, 3. Notice that when x = 0 then y = 3. Hence (0,3) is a point on the graph. Which quadrant is it in? It is on the boundary between the 1 st and 2 nd quadrants i.e. it lies on the y axis. We call this point the y intercept. So we say either the y intercept is 3 or we say the y intercept is the point (0,3). We say that in the graph y = mx + c, c is the y intercept. E8.6 What is the y intercept of the following graphs? (i) y = 2x + 4 (ii) y = 2x 3 (iii) y = 2x? A8.6 The y intercept of (i) y = 2x + 4 is 4 i.e. the point (0,4). (ii) y = 2x 3 is -3 i.e. the point (0,-3). (iii) y = 2x is 0 i.e. the point (0,0). 8.7 Now what is the significance of the coefficient of x of the RHS (2 in this case) in the graph of y = 2x + 3? 90
5 Let us look at two random points on the graph, say point A at (1,5) and point B at (3,9) We can by looking at the x coordinates of the two points determine that B is 2 units to the right of A. We write x = x value of B x value of A. = 3 1 =2 We can by looking at the y coordinates of the two points determine that B is 4 units above A. We write y = y value of B y value of A = 9 5 = 4 So in going from A to B the graph is climbing 4 units up for every 2 units to the right. So we say the graph has a slope or gradient of 4 in 2 which we write as y 4 gradient 2. x 2 So the coefficient of the x term in the equation y = 2x + 3 is the gradient. Summarise: constant term = 3 is the y intercept coefficient of x term = the slope or gradient of the line given by y gradient x E8.7 Complete the Table below: The first row has been done for you. A8.7 Equation of line Slope Y intercept y = 2x y = 3x y = 4x 0-4 y = 5 2x y = Equation of line Slope Y intercept y = 2x y = 4x y = 3x y = -2x y = 4x 4 0 y =
6 y = 5 2x -2 5 y = y = 5x What is the equation of the line that passes through the points (0,3) and has a slope of -2? We know that in general the equation is of the form: y = mx + c, where m is the slope (coefficient of x term) and y intercept is c (the constant term). Since the slope is -2 (i.e. the coefficient of x is -2) y = mx + c becomes y = -2x + c. Since the graph passes through (0,3) we know the y intercept is 3; So c is 3 and y = -2x + c becomes y = -2x + 3. So the equation is y = -2x + 3 OR y = 3 2x. E8.8 What is the equation of the line that passes through the point i. (0, -1) and has a slope of 2 ii. (0, 2) and has a slope of -3 iii. (0,0) and has a slope of 1 A8.8 i. y = 2x 1 ii. y = -3x + 2 iii. y = x 8.9 What is the equation of the line that passes through the points (0,3) and (2,5)? We know that in general the equation is of the form: y = mx + c, where m is the slope (coefficient of x term) and y intercept is c (the constant term). Since the graph passes through (0,3), which is on the y axis, we know the y intercept is 3; so c is 3, so y = mx + c becomes y = mx + 3. The point (2,5) is 2 units to the right (2 0) and 2 units above (5 3) the point (0,3). y gradient 1. x So the slope is 2 in 2 i.e. m=1 92
7 so y = mx + 3 becomes y = x + 3. So the equation of the line is y = x + 3 E8.9 What is the equation of the line that passes through the points (0,-1) and (1,4)? A8.9 (0,-1) tells us that the y intercept is -1 so we can write y = mx 1. (0,-1) and (1,4) tells us that the gradient is 5. So y = 5x Now consider the line that passes through the points (-2,4) and (3,-5). We can t determine the slope or the y intercept at sight easily: So we proceed as follows: gradient y x So m= -9/5 in the equation y = mx + c. 9x So write: y - c. 5 Now remember (3,-5) is (x=3,y=-5). So substitute in the equation above to get: 9(3) c 5 9(3) c x 9x 2 So our line y - c. becomes y E8.10 Find the equation of the line that passes through (-3, 6) and (2,1) A8.10 gradient y x So m= -1 in the equation y = mx + c. 93
8 So write: y - x c. Now remember (2,1) is (x=1,y=1). So substitute in the equation above to get: 2-1 c c 3 So our line y - x c. becomes y 3- x Consider the line y = 2x + 3 again. It has a slope of 2 and the y intercept is 3. What is the x intercept? We know that at the x intercept y=0. If we substitute y=0 in y = 2x + 3 we get 0 = 2x We can solve this equation to get x So the x intercept is - and the point of interception on the x axis is 2 3 ( - 2, 0) Check by seeing the graph in box 8.5. E8.11 For the graph y = 4 3x what is i. the slope ii. y intercept iii. x intercept? A8.11 y = 4 3x i. slope = -3 ii. y intercept = 4 iii. 0 = 4 3x x intercept = 4/3 Graphs of Quadratic functions 8.12 A quadratic function is function of the form : y = ax 2 + bx + c where a,b,c are constants. There are three terms in the function the first is a term in x 2 (called the quadratic term), the second is a term in x (called a linear term) and the third is a constant term. This is a 2 nd degree function, whereas linear functions are first degree functions. The simplest quadratic is y = x 2 i.e. no linear term and no constant term. We can complete the ordered pairs using the x values given below: (-5,25), (-4,16), (-3,9), (-2,4), (-1,1), (0,0), (1,1), (2,4), (3,9), (4,16), (5,25). Note the x values range from -5 to +5 but the y values are all positive 94
9 because the square of a number is always +ve. E8.12 Complete the following points on this quadratic: (,25), (,0), (,25) so that the points are distinct (i.e. separate) A8.12 ( -5,25), (0,0), (5,25) 8.13 The graph is plotted below E8.13 What is the y intercept? What is the y intercept? the x intercept? What is the axis of symmetry? What is the minimum point? What is the minimum y value? A8.13 y intercept is 0, the x intercept is 0, the axis of symmetry is x = 0, the minimum point is (0,0), the minimum value is Now suppose we want to sketch (rather than draw) the quadratic, y = x 2 2x 15 We can find the y intercept by putting x = 0 in y = x 2 2x 15 to get y = -15. So the graph crosses the y axis at (0,-15). Now to find the x intercepts we put y = 0 to get: 0 = x 2 2x 15. Write this as x 2 2x 15 = 0 and solve viz. (x 5)(x + 3) = 0 So x = -3 and x = 5. The graph crosses the x axis at (-3,0) and (5,0). The axis of symmetry is a vertical line bisecting the line joining (-3,0) and (5,0). 95
10 How do we find it? The middle value of any two numbers is its arithmetic average. (-3 5) x The average of x = -3 and x = 5 is thus 2 x 1 The axis of symmetry is x = 1. Now we get the minimum y value using the fact that minimum y value is on the axis of symmetry, x = 1. So putting x=1 in y = x 2 2x 15 we get y min = 1 2 2(1) 15 = -17. So the minimum point of the graph is (1,-17). We can now sketch our graph by putting all this information together: Point where graph crosses y axis. (0,-15) Two axis points where graph (-3,0) and (5,0) crosses x axis. Minimum point on the axis of (1,-17) symmetry The sketch is confirmed by this drawing E8.14 Sketch the graph of the quadratic function y = x 2 2x 8 1. Find the y intercept by putting x = 0 in y = x 2 2x 8 to get y =. 2. Find the x intercepts by putting put y = 0 to get:. = x 2 2x 8 and solve viz. (x )(x ) = 0 So x =.. and x =.. 96
11 The two points of interception on the x axis are (,.) and (, ) The axis of symmetry is a vertical line bisecting the line joining (., ) and (, ) The middle x value is its arithmetic average. The average of x = and x = is thus x =.. The axis of symmetry is x =... The minimum y value is on the axis of symmetry, x =.. So putting x=. in y = x 2 2x 8 we get y min =. So the minimum point of the graph is (.,.). We can now sketch our graph by putting all this information together: Point of interception on y axis (, ) Two points of interception on x (, ) and (, ) axis Minimum point on the axis of (, ) symmetry Sketch: A8.14 Sketch the graph of the quadratic function y = x 2 2x 8 1. Find the y intercept by putting x = 0 in y = x 2 2x 8 to get y = -8. So the y intercept is the point (0,-8). 2. Find the x intercepts by putting put y = 0 to get: 0 = x 2 2x 8 and solve viz. (x 4)(x + 2) = 0 So x = 4 and x = -2 are the x intercepts. 97
12 The two points of interception on the x axis are (4,0) and (-2,0). The axis of symmetry is a vertical line bisecting the line joining (4,0) and (-2,0). The middle x value is its arithmetic average. The average of x = 4 and x = -2 is thus x = (4 2)/2 = 1 i.e. the axis of symmetry is the vertical line, x = 1 The minimum y value is on the axis of symmetry, x = 1. So putting x = 1 in y = x 2 2x 8 we get y min = (1) 2 2(1) 8 = = -9. So the minimum point of the graph is (1,-9). We can now sketch our graph by putting all this information together: Point of interception on y axis (0,-8) Two points of interception on x (-2,0) and (0,4) axis Minimum point on the axis of (1,-9) symmetry Sketch: 98
