Question

Solving this system of equations x + 2y = 10. Is y = 5 - x/2 the end result before graphing?

Answer 1

Yes.

Answer 2

How would I graph it?

Answer 3

I know the 5 is the y intercept but the - x/2 is throwing me off

Answer 4

to get x-intercept, put y=0
so get x from 0=5-x/2

Answer 5

or u can get x from x + 2y = 10, but putting y=0 here, easier

Answer 6

Ok so x = 10, making our problem y = 5 - 5 right?

Answer 7

x=10 is correct x-intercept,
so now u have both the intercepts, can u graph the line ?

Answer 8

Yes, how about 3x + 4y = 8... how exactly do I do this one?

Answer 9

u know the procedure to get intercepts ?
to get x-intercept, put y=0, find x
to get y-intercept, put x=0, find y

Answer 10

so whats the y-intercept of 3x + 4y = 8
put x=0 there

Answer 11

y intercept is 2. x intercept is ... 8/3?

Answer 12

both are correct

Answer 13

Bleh I hate graphing fractions. Thanks for the help.

Answer 14

hmm...welcome :)
