In Exs. 1-6 draw the line. 1. y=0 2.x=0 3. x=5 4. 2y=3 5. 4y+1 = u 6. 3x - 4 = 0 how to do this anyone can help , i will give medal and ill be your fan

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Behold, my true form >:) Just kidding :) How can I be of assistance? :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

haha you there, long time no see :D

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

I finally got some help getting this account working. Now, let's get to work :D (not that it's terribly necessary, it's Friday night, for cryin' out loud) This is graphing lines, yes?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im taking advance with my topics, so i dont know how to work with it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep it says here chapter 5, straight line

OpenStudy (anonymous):

line through two points

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

As well it should. Let's start with the basic stuff. y = something and x = something These are probably the easiest lines to graph :)

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

I'm a bit miffed that you're actually asked to graph y = 0 and x = 0, but okay :/ allow me to start with something a teensy big more complicated than that. Let's try graphing y = 3. Ready? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it says in number 1. y=0 , so the value of x is automatically 0?

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Why x? Don't you mean y ? XD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you show me the line in number 1

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Sure. It's simply the x axis :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you draw it? :D

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

|dw:1425650732125:dw| suppose this is your cartesian plane

OpenStudy (anonymous):

THE NUMBER'S 1-6 as the instruction says... haha :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1425650803317:dw|

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

yup. the line y = 0 is simply |dw:1425650822867:dw| the x-axis.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

SO, THATS THE LINE FOR X=0 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or y=0?

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

y = 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

SO IF X=0 , then |dw:1425651018656:dw|

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

That's correct :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

move on to #3

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

right. When you have x = something, it's ALWAYS a vertical line. Where that vertical line is... depends what x is equal to. Now, use your instincts. Where do you put the vertical line? ;) When it was x = 0, it was on the y-axis itself... what about x = 5?
