I need help graphing y=(-3/4)x+5 trying to graph using x= 2, 1, 0,-1 and finding the y and x intercept? Need HELP

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you need help with? Plot those x coord. on your graph. To get your y coordinate simply evluate you equation using each one of those x values

OpenStudy (anonymous):

need help with steps

OpenStudy (anonymous):

r u still there?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i mean what steps. Here is how you do it. you have x= 2, 1, 0,-1,these are places on the x axis. Now. you have the equation y=(-3/4)x+5, for x=2 simply replace x with 2 in your equation and evaluate, what i mean is this : y=(-3/4)(2)+5. Now you compute that you will get a value that is called the y coordinate. Now with you finger locate your x coordinat, 2, and either move up or down until you find the y coodinate on your graph. Once you do that mark that place with a black dot. Do the same for the rest of the x's, (1,0,-1). You might get fraction when you evluate your function y=(-3/4)x+5 at these points, but thats okay, just mark them.

k. thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what about intercepts x and y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hello?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

to find the x intercept, set the y to be zero and solve for x to find the y intercept, set the x to zero and solve for y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is what i got.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

trying to see what i did wrong.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

first of all the y intercept is (0,5)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think that solves your problems

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

does my math look okay?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah, because that the only coordiant that seems to be off, otherwise nice job

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i'm just very comfused.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cool.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

your good man

OpenStudy (anonymous):

click the good answer button if i helped you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry... still confused.....try to find Y intercept. and i'm not gettting 5? could youshow me the steps?
