Question

How do you do this type of problem?:
x+2y=0

Answer 1

what are you trying to do to it?

Answer 2

Solve it.

Answer 3

And then I graph it. But I know how to graph.

Answer 4

\[x+2y=0\]

Answer 5

solve it for what? do you want x-intercepts, y-intercepts. finding these will be useful in graphing.

Answer 6

Ok I need to find M and B if that makes sense. So yeah x and y intercepts.

Answer 7

you need to write in slope intercept form: y=mx+b
solve the equation above for y by subtracting x first
let me know what you have after you do this

Answer 8

0+2y=-1?

Answer 9

what happen to the x?

Answer 10

2y=-x

Answer 11

and thats it?

Answer 12

no its not in this form y=mx+b yet
what do we need to do next

Answer 13

Divide by two?

Answer 14

right so we have y=-x/2
so what is m=? and what is b=?

Answer 15

m=1\1
b=0

Answer 16

Is that right?

Answer 17

m=-1/2 and b=0

Answer 18

ok. How would you do y=-4

Answer 19

y=-4 is a horizontal line going through -4 on the y axis

Answer 20

Ok so let me give you a problem. Me work it out and will you tell me if its right?

Answer 21

My next problem is:
2x+3y+6

Answer 22

y=2\3=2
m=2\3
b= 2

Answer 23

what did you write for the y=mx+b form

Answer 24

y=2\3x=2

Answer 25

2x+3y=6
-2x -2x
3y=-2x+6
_ _ _
3 3 3

y=-2x/3+2

so the slope is m=-2/3
the y intercept is b=2

Answer 26

One more equation I just dont get.

Answer 27

x-2y=-4
