Question

can anyone help me solve this question PLEASE???
Create a linear equation in two variables in the form y = mx + b to graph using the slope intercept form

Answer 1

Just plug numbers into the m and b

Answer 2

ok hun that is easier sad than done never done this and dont know how to do it :(

Answer 3

Can you tell me two numbers?

Answer 4

ummmmm just like any two numbers ?

Answer 5

yeah any!

Answer 6

Your favorite numbers if you want.

Answer 7

7 and 2

Answer 8

Ok, then lets m = 7 and b = 2.

Answer 9

so, \[y=7x+2\]

Answer 10

ok now how would I work that ?

Answer 11

You mean, how do you solve the equation?

Answer 12

yes

Answer 13

You can solve it by graphing or doing algebra.

Answer 14

Do you know how to graph that equation?

Answer 15

yes I kind of got how to do that part

Answer 16

Well I you graph the equation just look at the point where the line crosses the x-axis.

Answer 17

it crosses the x-axis at some value of x. That "some value of x" is the solution of the equation.

Answer 18

ok can you help me out with this question? Create a linear equation which requires two steps to solve

Answer 19

You already have it:

Answer 20

\[7x+2=0\]

Answer 21

step 1:\[7x=-2\]

Answer 22

step 2: \[x = -\frac{2}{7}\]

Answer 23

ok cool now the last one I need help with is . Create a linear equation in two variables in the form Ax + By = C to graph using the
x- and y- intercept method.

Answer 24

You need to do the same, plug values into the A, B, and C. Can you do that?

Answer 25

so like this 2a+4b=c ?right

Answer 26

Not exactly, but you are close. I meant plug values into the A, B, C, for example: \[2x+4y=4\]

Answer 27

ok now can you walk me through trying to solve that please?

Answer 28

First, do you know what it means to solve an equation?

Answer 29

kind of but it is all kind of new to me I never went to high school I did home schooling
