find the intercepts then graph 2x+y=4

OpenStudy (larseighner):

What happens when x=0?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

subsitute?

OpenStudy (larseighner):

What happens if you put 0 instead of x in the equation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it cancels out and leaves y=4

OpenStudy (larseighner):

Right. So there is one intercept. Now try it with 0 in place of y.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i get x=2

OpenStudy (larseighner):

Right. That is the other intercept. You do know what part of the graph x=0 is, don't you?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(0,4) (2,0)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (larseighner):

Right.

thank you sooo much
