ALGEBRA - solved problems
Graphing linear equation, linear function (first degree polynomial)
The linear function  f (x) = mx + c
The linear function we also write as 
y = a1x + a0   or   y = a1(x - x0)   or   y - y0 = a1x,  where  y0 = a0
To find the zero or the x-intercept of the linear function set  y = 0  and solve the equation for x, i.e.,
                                       y = 0    =>   0 = a1x + a0
98.    Find the equation of the line that passes through the origin and the point A(-3, 2).
Translate the line in the direction of the x-axis by x0 = - 3, then find its equation.
Solution:   Calculate the slope m by plugging the 
coordinates of the point A into the equation  y =  mx,
By plugging x0 = - 3 into  y = a1(x - x0)
