Question

Tell whether each function is linear. If so, graph the function.
5+3y=8

Answer 1

How can we tell if an equation is linear or not?

Answer 2

it can't be multiplied

Answer 3

i think

Answer 4

think about what the powers must be

Answer 5

it is linear but im not sure how to find the plots to graph it

Answer 6

easiest way - is to put this in slope intercet form
y = mx +b

yint is 0, b - that is point #1
then from that point rise/run for your slope

note - if neg slope down/run

Answer 7

the other way is finding points by table -random values for x - plug in for values of y
and then plot those points - connect and that is your graph

i still prefer my first method.

Answer 8

so put your equation in point slope form

Answer 9

yes i do nderstand this is a horiztonal line, but the method still works. :)

Answer 10

im not sure how to put it in point slope form

Answer 11

reearrange what you were given to make it look like
Y = MX + B

Answer 12

so 3y=8+5

Answer 13

SUBTRACT 5 FROM BOTH SIDES
SO,
3Y = 8-5....

Answer 14

3y=8+5
-5 -5
so 3y=3

Answer 15

YES....NEXT

Answer 16

yes so what should I do next to find the plots to graph

Answer 17

there is NO coefficient in front of Y
Y = MX + B

Answer 18

SO YOU SHOULD BE AT Y = 1, DID YOU FOLLOW?

Answer 19

yes

Answer 20

because I divided

Answer 21

with that, there is no x term - so there is no slope..

Answer 22

o ok thanks

Answer 23

so all you have is a y- intecept that is
0,b or 0,1 in our case
