Question

6x + -7y = 43 i need (x,y)

Answer 1

What do you mean by "i need (x,y)"?

Answer 2

(x,y) are the coordinates of a point.

Answer 3

i dont know how to do this. i assume i need the points because it gives me pictures of graphs

Answer 4

Ok let us start with graphing your equation: $$\Huge 6x +(-7y) = 43$$

Answer 5

ok

Answer 6

First put it in the form: $$\Huge y= mx +b$$

Answer 7

what do m and b represent

Answer 8

The slope and y-intercept.

Answer 9

and what is that?

Answer 10

Have you seen the Khan Academy videos on YouTube about equations of lines?

Answer 12

it doesnt give me slope intercept or anything

Answer 13

Simplifying
-6x + -7 = -43

Reorder the terms:
-7 + -6x = -43

Solving
-7 + -6x = -43

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '7' to each side of the equation.
-7 + 7 + -6x = -43 + 7

Combine like terms: -7 + 7 = 0
0 + -6x = -43 + 7
-6x = -43 + 7

Combine like terms: -43 + 7 = -36
-6x = -36

Divide each side by '-6'.
x = 6

Simplifying
x = 6

Answer 14

so, -36+7y=-43

Answer 15

yep

Answer 16

so i would do -43-(-36)=-7

Answer 17

yes

Answer 18

7y=-7
y=-1?

Answer 19

yes

Answer 20

how would a graph a line like that?

Answer 21

u would take -1,6
