X-2y=4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, what do you need to do with that? That's not really a question on it's own....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is the question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Write y as function of x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh do we need to graph this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have to find the x intercept and the y intercept

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok for the x intercept: Let y=o

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x - 2(0) = ? Whats the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Higher

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It may be easier to write the function in standard form first. It will be easier to interpret.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y(x)=?x+?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x - 2(0) = 4 x - 0 =4 x = 4 So we have 4 as our x intercept

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which is (4,0)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you get that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So what would my y intercept

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That is our next step. : Finding out the Y intercept

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok so no questions on the x intercept.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

To find out the Y intercept We are going to let X=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

substituting that we get 0-2y=4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

substituting that we get 0-2y=4 \[-2y/2 = 4/-2\] and that gives us what?
