Question

y=2x+7
Is the equation of a line. Explain how you can find two sets of (x, y) points that are on the line.

Answer 1

well....just sub in numbers.
y = 2x + 7 ...pick a number for y...lets pick 3. Now sub in 3 for y.
3 = 2x + 7 -- subtract 7 from both sides
3 - 7 = 2x
-4 = 2x -- divide by 2
-2 = x
so one point on the line is (-2,3)

understand how I did that ?

Answer 2

so basically, just pick a number for one of the variables, sub that into the equation, and then find the other variable.

Answer 3

ohhh okayy i understand
