can anyone help me with better understanding, How to solve linear equations by graphing? thanks!
do you have an attachment?
yea you need an attachment
the formula for linear equations is: \(\color{blue}{y = mx + b}\)
http://www.mathwarehouse.com/algebra/linear_equation/slope-of-a-line.php <--- find the slope, and that slope will be "ratio" that y is to x and where the lines "touches" or "intercepts" y, is the well, y-intercept thus y = [slope] x + [y-intercept]
Attachment meaning?
picture to go with it
so how would I solve this linear equation X+3y=8 x-4y=-6 by graping,
turn it into y = mx + b
so it would be (-x+8)
y=mx+b for this equation would be (-y)=(-x+8) right?
for x+3y=8? no, it's not -y
How do I find y=mx+b?
you want to move x to the right side. when you move it, the sign of it will change.
so it would change to y?
