Question

01.04 Graphing Linear Equations and Inequalities

Answer 1

Need any help sir?

Answer 2

ya i think i do

Answer 3

Alright, what's up?

Answer 4

-x - 2y = 6 how do i graph this?

Answer 5

Ok, first let's put it into a form that we can recognize the slope and y intercept better.
Slope-Intercept form: y=mx+b

Answer 6

-2y=x+6

Answer 7

If we add x to both sides, we get -2y = 6 + x, rearrange the x and 6 to x + 6, so we have
-2y = x + 6
That's looking a bit better. Do you know how to get y by itself on the left side after that?

Answer 8

Ah, great! Let's get y to be by itself now.

Answer 9

What would you do?

Answer 10

divide by -2

Answer 11

ok

Answer 12

Awesome, so we get... y = -(x + 6)/2

Answer 13

Sorry, I forgot the (-).

Answer 14

so next i would have to find slope?

Answer 15

So -(x+6)/2 is the same as -x/2 + 6/2 correct?
