Answer 5

it is important to know the standard form which is ax + by + c = 0
y = -3x + 9
so then you put ^ this in standard

Answer 6

Ax + By = C is standard form....I thought

Answer 7

oh yeah oopps yep

Answer 8

so first add 3x to both sides of the equal sign and that should get you to your answer

Answer 9

how do I add 3x 2 both sides @texaschic101

Answer 10

y = -3x + 9 ----add 3x to both sides
3x + y = -3x + 3x + 9 -- combine like terms
3x + y = 9 -- see how the -3x and the 3x cancel out on the right side....and this is now in standard form

Answer 11

or if it is easier to understand, write it like this...

y = -3x + 9
+ 3x + 3x
------------------add
3x + y = 9

Answer 12

just remember, what you do on one side of the equal sign, you have to do on the other side

Answer 13

any questions ?

Answer 14

nice;)

Answer 15

thanks....I try to explain

Answer 16

@texaschic101
I have more ques on my test can u help meh

Answer 17

oh....a test.....um...not supposed to, might get me banned. Not supposed to, if its a test. I wish you wouldn't have said that.

Answer 18

Tell you what....close this question. Then ask me what you need help on. Even though the question is closed, you can still post stuff on it

Answer 19

ok ill do that

Answer 20

ask away

Answer 21

??

Answer 22

Referring to the figure, write the equation of the horizontal line
through the point (0,3).

Answer 23

ill use this same graph 4 tha next few ques

Answer 24

Learn this too...

HOY -- horizontal line, 0 slope, represented by y = a number
VUX -- vertical line, undefined slope, represented by x = a number

A horizontal line will always have y = a number. In this case (0,3)...y = 3 and y will always equal 3. And your slope is 0.
So your equation is : y = 0x + 3 (because the slope(m) = 0) or it can be written as y = 3

Answer 25

Referring to the same graph, write the equation of the horizontal line
through the point (3,0).

Answer 26

Horizontal line through (3,0)
slope = 0

y = mx + b
0 = 0(3) + b
0 = b

so your equation is : y = 0x + 0 or just y = 0...I think

this one confuses me a little.

Answer 27

Referring to the same graph, write the equation of the vertical line
through the point (0,3).

Answer 28

VUX -- vertical line, undefined slope, x = a number

The vertical line through (0,3)....x = 0 and y = 3

The x will always be 0.
so your equation is : x = 0

Answer 29

if you have a vertical line, the the x's will always be the same number
if you have a horizontal line, then the y's will always be the same number

Answer 30

and I know this is probably not gonna be used in your future, but you need to learn it to get out of high school

Answer 31

Referring to the same graph, write the equation of the vertical line
through the point (3,0).

Answer 32

im sorry my internet was actin up :(

Answer 33

I am not sure about this one simply because it has an undefined slope, but I think it is just gonna be : x = 3 because (3,0)...x is 3

Answer 34

thx 4 tha info @texaschic101 that info bout how 2 find out tha answer really helped thx :)

Answer 35

I try to help when I can. Good luck with the test

Answer 36

i didn't do well :(
tha peeps that helped meh b4 didn't help meh out enough i got a freakin D+ man
