I don't get it. How would I solve it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

before u can graph this equation get the equation in standard form: y=mx+b

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

first solve this equation y-3=2(x-4) y-3=2x-8 y=2x-5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got 2x-5, I'm having trouble graphing...

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

@SephI now solve it

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

put the value of x=0 y=0-5=-5

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

1solution=(0,-5)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

b is the y intercept

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

put the value of x=1 y=2-5 y=-3

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

2 solution=(1,-3)

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

@SephI there are may solutions

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

got it @SephI

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so -5 is the y value when x is 0 then the slope is m which is 2 so go up 2 points from -5 go left 1 because your slope is really 2/1 that's you next point then draw a line through both points

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, no I don't. Putting different numbers in will give me different answers?

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

then you will get a straight line

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

am i wrong? @Bhagyashree

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, walk through step-by-step

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

you don't understand

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you are not wrong @mayankdevnani it is just a different method

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

oh!! but it is right @SephI

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait let me explain in a different way

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

uw you can

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

there are infinitely solutions @SephI

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@mayankdevnani , go on...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

as what @mayankdevnani just said is right if u plug a value of x in an equation u get a value of y for that x value if u get 2 of those points they both belong to one equation that u want to graph so its not wrong u can also look at previous answer which is a different method of graphing

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

now put the value of x=5 y=10-5=5

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

2solution=(5,5)

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

now you understand @SephI

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

take the value of x=4 y=8-5=3

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

3solution=(4,3)

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

also (4,3) is in the graph as line pass through it

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

ok @SephI

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

@hartnn am i right?

hartnn (hartnn):

about what ? u have to graph the line, right ? find x and y intercepts, plot them, and just daw a staright line passing through them. To get x-intercept put y=0 in the equation to get y-intercept put x=0 in the equation i am too lazy to go through all the comments....
