Question

how to graph a line

x-y= -4

Answer 1

i would change it to the form

y=mx+b

Answer 2

ok can you walk me through this one and then me see if i understand it

Answer 3

subtract x from both sides, divide by negitive one to get you a postive y

Answer 4

x - y = -4

When u have to plot the "x-intercept", put y = 0
When u have to plot the "y-intercept", put x = 0

So, the x intercept,
x - y = -4
x - 0 = -4
x = -4

Now the y intercept,
x - y = -4
0 - y = -4
y = 4

So the line will cut the x axis at -4 and y at 4.

Answer 5

3x+2y=0

Answer 6

i don't understand how to do it

Answer 7

Did u get the first thing?

Answer 8

no

Answer 9

Why?

Answer 10

i don't know. i don't get how you got -4 and 4

Answer 11

I did step by step.. read it again.. and try to understand/..

Answer 12

ok. let me see if i get this right:
3x+2y=0
x crosses at 3
y crosses at 2

Answer 13

?

Answer 14

Nope.. not like that.. This is a bit different case..in the second one the line passes through the Origin.

Answer 15

First try to understand the first one..

Answer 16

i get it.
can you explain the second one?

Answer 17

Alright.. so in this one,
u have do a bit differently,
Coz when u are going to put the x zero to find the y intercept.. u will get zero.. and same as with the x intercept..

So this thing proves that the line will cut the axes at (0,0)
At that point..:
