Question

Explain how to graph 2x + y = 14 using the x- and y-intercepts method. Be sure to use complete sentences and use the x- and y-intercepts method only.

Answer 1

@hunterhoff
substitute x=0 first into that equation. Tlel me what you get for the y-value.

Answer 2

Tell*

Answer 3

\[2(0)+y=14\]

Answer 4

Is the y value 2?

Answer 5

what's
\[2 \times 0=\]

Answer 6

\[2(0)=2 \times 0\]

Answer 7

So what's 2 times 0 equal?

Answer 8

Do you know your multiplication time tables?

Answer 9

0

Answer 10

yes

Answer 11

Good. So then the equation would be this right?
\[0+y=14\]

Answer 12

My internet connection is just a little slow sorry about that

Answer 13

@hunterhoff

Answer 14

right

Answer 15

what's \[y+0=?\]

Answer 16

fill in that question mark.

Answer 17

0 ?

Answer 18

Ahh huh. Now I found your porblem with maths. You don't know how to do addition and subtraction with pronumerals.

Answer 19

problem*

Answer 20

\[2x+0= 2x\]
\[4z+0=4z\]
\[z+0=z\]
What's \[0+y=?\]

Answer 21

y

Answer 22

?

Answer 23

Is that right?

Answer 24

Y

Answer 25

Yes. Finally.

Answer 26

Good job.

Answer 27

So then now you got rid of the zero in the equation. What's y equal to now? That means what's the y-value.

Answer 28

I dont know?

Answer 29

\[0+y=14\]
You don't remember your equation you specifically wrote it on this website so people can help you with it? memory loss?

Answer 30

14???

Answer 31

Excellent. Finally you made some way into this question.

Answer 32

So....at the start of the question, didn't I tell you that I made x equal to zero so then I can find that y=14?

Answer 33

so then you can find y=14*

Answer 34

Yes

Answer 35

So WHEN x=0.............y=14. Right?

Answer 36

Right

Answer 37

And when you write out your coordinates or points on a graph. It's in this form right?
\[(x, y)\]

Answer 38

so that would be (0,14) :)

Answer 39

Great. Now you found what's called the "y-intercept"

Answer 40

Yayyy! :)

Answer 41

The y-intercept is located at (0, 14). Now. Try and do the EXACT same thing when finding the x-intercept. This time, what do you make equal to zero?

Answer 42

2 ?

Answer 43

No. What's in your mind mate? Peanut butter and jelly or something? Where's the brain?!?!?
I made x equal to zero so then I could FIND the Y-INTERCEPT. NOW. We are trying to FIND the X-INTERCEPT. What would I make equal to zero in order to find the X-INTERCET. I told you that I made x=0 to Find the Y-INTERCEPT. Now when you're trying to find the X-INTERCEPT what would you make ?=0. Fill in that question mark.

Answer 44

INTERCEPT*

Answer 45

14?

Answer 46

14=0?

Answer 47

Y

Answer 48

FINALLY. You cracked it.

Answer 49

Sorry about that...

Answer 50

so you make y=0.

Answer 51

Do that to the equation. Just replace y with zero.

Answer 52

Show me the end result of that.

Answer 53

y

Answer 54

so your final result when you replace y with zero is just
\[y\]

Answer 55

Wow...

Answer 56

Your equation is
\[2x+y=14\] You seem to have a very short memory loss of about 1 minute.

Answer 57

You can't seem to put something in your head for more than a minute.

Answer 58

You're replacing y with zero. Do that simple step and let me see the result when you replace y with zero.

Answer 59

Omg... Now Im really confused!!! Im sorry... :( Is it 2x+0=14

Answer 60

Finally!!!

Answer 61

So what's \[2x+0=?\]

Answer 62

2

Answer 63

I don't think I'm capable of teaching you. It's really frustrating everytime you mess up big time. My hope is almost gone for you.

Answer 64

ok... Thanks for trying, I really appreciate it...

Answer 65

Is it (2,0)

Answer 66

If not then dont bother

Answer 67

7!!!! Its 7!!!! :D (7,0) right?

Answer 68

it just took me a second to think about it! :D

Answer 69

Dude...That took you...let's see...15 minutes...

Answer 70

If you can't work these out, then you have to take a step back and do addition and subtraction and multiplication/division of a pronumeral.

Answer 71

Thank you so much for helping me! :)

Answer 72

That's just weak when you're doing a calculation of simple algebra in 15minutes!

Answer 73

You need to practice, practice, practice,, practice, practice....and practice, practice, practice.....x1000000.

Answer 74

Once you do that, you will be getting 100% in all maths exams.

Answer 75

ok... thanks

Answer 76

Right now, to be honest, your level of maths and what you're competing with in your grade, I reckon you will be in the remedial class if you don't practice your maths. Because you're not even getting above 50% if you're finding it hard to solve these questions. That's my honesty. I'm not adding cherries on top to make you feel better. That's being realistic about your level of math compared to your grade.
