Question

how do you graph 2x-5y=1 by using the x and y intercepts?

Answer 1

do you know how to find the x and y intercept ?

Answer 2

no, I don't. this is really confusing.

Answer 3

to find the x intercept, sub on 0 for y.
2x - 5y = 1
2x - 5(0) = 1
2x = 1
x = 1/2 <-- x intercept (1/2,0)

to find the y intercept, sub in 0 for x
2x - 5y = 1
2(0) - 5y = 1
-5y = 1
y = -1/5 <-- y intercept (0,-1/5)

now plot your points and just draw a line and connect them.

Answer 4

ok, thanks!

Answer 5

no problem :)
