Question

find two points on the line to be graphed and enter their coordinates in the boxes below A=( , ) B= ( , ) y =5/2x+1

Answer 1

you can find the x and y intercepts from the original equation.

y = 5/2x + 1

to find x intercept, sub in 0 for y
0 = 5/2x + 1
-5/2x = 1
x = 1/(-5/2)
x = 1 * -2/5
x = -2/5 or - 0.4
so your x intercept is (-0.4, 0)

to find your y intercept, sub in 0 for x
y = 5/2(0) + 1
y = 1
so your y intercept is (0,1)

that is your points... A = (-0.4,0) and B = (0,1)
