SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES: At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:
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:
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
Quadratic graphs
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.
• 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
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
