how do you graph an equation?

OpenStudy (mrdoe):

depends how specific you want to get, usually you plug in a few points or make a table of values, graph the points and sketch the curve

OpenStudy (anonymous):

18x x 24y = -72

OpenStudy (mrdoe):

start by solving for y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-3?

OpenStudy (mrdoe):

there should be an x in there right?

OpenStudy (mrdoe):

im reading you eq as 18x*24y=-72 is that right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes sir

OpenStudy (mrdoe):

\[18x*24y=-72=24y=\frac{ -72 }{ 18x }=?\] and just finish sputting it into standard form (y=mx+b)

OpenStudy (mrdoe):

putting*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I need to graph the equation, so to do that do I need to put in standard form?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

MrDoe?

OpenStudy (mrdoe):

yea, sorry was answering someone else

OpenStudy (mrdoe):

for finding points on the graph y=mx+b is best

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have -3 for the x-intercept and -4 for the y-intercept. is that right?

OpenStudy (mrdoe):

i don't think it has either, when i graph it it looks like it has horizontal and vertical asymptotes at the x and y axis and look roughly like |dw:1357334667297:dw|
