Find the x-intercept, y-intercept, and the slope of the line 2x + y = 2. Sketch the graph of 2x + y = 2.

Question

aroub · Answer

if u want to find the y-intercept u make the x=0 and when u want to find the x-intercept u make y=0

anonymous · Answer

And the slope is the coefficient of x when put in slope-intercept form.

anonymous · Answer

so 2(0) + y =2 ?

aroub · Answer

yes :)

anonymous · Answer

0 + y = 2   y= 2 ??

anonymous · Answer

That's right. Now do the same for the x-intercept: 2x+0=2

anonymous · Answer

are the y intercepts (0,2) and (2,0) then?

anonymous · Answer

Almost. The y-intercept is (0,2). But the x-intercept is (1,0).

aroub · Answer

yes :)

anonymous · Answer

to find the equation for the x intercepts do you replace the x with zero?

anonymous · Answer

0 + y = 2

aroub · Answer

to find the x-intercept u replace the y with zero

anonymous · Answer

y-intercept is replacing the x with 0
x-intercept is replacing the y with 0
