Question

Use the intercept method to graph the equation. 6x + 7y = 14

Answer 1

ok so you want this in slope-intecept form which is y=mx+c where m is the slope and c is the intcept

Answer 2

for obvious reasons. m=-6/7 and c=2 now you can graph it

Answer 3

Okay when I go to solve I get (0,7/3) and (0,2) and when I enter it on my graph it doesn't work so I don't know what I am doing wrong

Answer 4

No, don't solve

Answer 5

In fact you cannot solve because funciton is different from eqations

Answer 6

do you know how to graph a line if it is given in the form of y=mx+c

Answer 7

No I don't understand and when I put in no solution I got that wrong so I am completely lost and confused

Answer 8

calm down

Answer 9

6x+7y=14 is the same as y=（-6/7)x+2 you understnad?

Answer 10

no I don't see how you got that besides it looks like you combined the x and the y value

Answer 11

\[6x+7y=14 \]\[7y=14-6x\]\[y=\frac{ 14-6x }{ 7 }\]\[y=2-\frac{ 6 }{ 7 }x\]

Answer 12

better now?

Answer 13

yes can I ask another question

Answer 14

sure

Answer 15

y-2x=-5/4

Answer 16

I need three points

Answer 17

well if you set y=0 you can get one

Answer 18

x=0 gives you another one

Answer 19

the third one can be y=1

Answer 20

so when I use x=0 I get 5/4/1 which I don't know how to divide 1 by 5/4

Answer 21

when x=0, y=-5/4

Answer 22

so the point is (0, -5/4)

Answer 23

so when x is 0 is the correct (0,0)

Answer 24

but (0,0) is not on the line

Answer 25

so what am I doing wrong

Answer 26

y=2-(6/7)x specifies a relationship between x and y

Answer 27

now we assign a value to x, in this case the value assigned is 0

Answer 28

now from this x-value we can find the y-value becasue we have a relationship between x and y

Answer 29

this relationship does not permit y to be 0 when x is 0

Answer 30

so how do you solve 2-(6/7) and where did 6/7 come from

Answer 31

If I am being dumb and annoying you you can stop helping me I just don't get math and it frustrates me

Answer 32

I kind of want to say that

Answer 33

I am going to sleep cause it is 3 in the morning and I got class tomorrow

Answer 34

You should reread my posts

Answer 35

Thanks

Answer 36

the original function is 6x+7y=14

Answer 37

then I use algebraic manipulation to rearrange the equation to the form y=mx+c, where m and c are constants

Answer 38

then I plug given x-values or y-values ( 0, 1, etc) into the function

Answer 39

now the function is a eqation and we can solve for he variable ( x or y)

Answer 40

no fall break school all week boo hoo

Answer 41

lets do y -4?
