graph each linear equation x+y=2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Solve the equation for y then plug it into the calc and graph it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do u do that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

subtract x to the other side.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the equation would now be y= 2-x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now graph it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is there any way you can show me how to graph

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the slope would be -1 and the y intercept would be 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is the line suppose to be straight

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so how did u get that can u show the steps please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well I use rise over run and the slope. which means I did it algebraically instead of graphically. I will still get the same answer.

OpenStudy (goformit100):

yes linear graphing can lead to its correct and accurate solution

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Ck[-.-] you graph is wrong.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it should be in the other direction. Thats what my calc says.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah sorry my brother totally just stole my computer. and he doesnt know how to graph lines

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hw does the graph suppose to be please help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have truble graphing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The 2 is the y intercept, which means it goes up 2 since its positive. The -x (also is -1x) is the slope it help determine which direction and what type of graph it is.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

slope-intercept form y=mx+b
