Graph each equation.
y=2 @PeterPan
If this is y = 2....then the graph will just be a horizontal line at the point y = 2....because the line can ONLY go through 1 given point on the y-axis so it MUST be a line going straight through y = 2
anything y = k, just find k on the y-axis, and draw the horizontal line through that point :) If on the other hand, you have x = h instead, find h on the x-axis, and draw the vertical line thru that point :D
So it would be |dw:1369755499186:dw|
yes, more or less :D
Ok :)
x+4y=10
aha tricky... but graphing lines always involves finding two points on that line and connecting the dots ^.^
I just don't get it :(
Usually these points are what are called "intercepts". There are two of them, the x intercept, and the y intercept
To get the x-intercept, set y=0, and solve for x.
so x+4(0)=10?
Yup. So x = ?
10 :)
That's right :) So the x-intercept is the point (10 , 0) Now to find the y-intercept, this time, set x = 0, and solve for y :)
y=2.5
That's right :) So the y-intercept is the point (0 , 2.5) (notice that the 2.5 is the y-coordinate this time, as opposed to the x-intercept (10,0) ) So, everything set? x-intercept --> (10 , 0) y-intercept --> (0 , 2.5)
Yes :) now to graph it c:
So you just find these two points|dw:1369755817110:dw|
THANK YOU!!!!!!! :D
And connect the dots... like a kid with a colouring book!!! XD|dw:1369755899047:dw|
:) Did that and Now i'm done >:D
Awsum :)
