Question

How do I graph the equations y=3x+8 and y=4x+5?

Answer 1

graph? or sketch?

Answer 2

Graph

Answer 3

if sketch (a rough resemblence with minimal markers) then you would find the intercepts

Answer 4

determine the value y when, and then the value of x when y=0

this give syou 2 points to plot, then draw a line thru the points

Answer 5

or, plot the y intercept that is the ending number, and follow the slope defined by the coefficient of the x part

Answer 6

or, determine 2 points of reference by trial and use them to draw a line thru ... there are many ways to approach this

Answer 7

hmmm

Answer 8

It just wants me to put both lines on a graph

Answer 9

Im not sure what that means, its just hat the instructions say

Answer 10

Graphing y=3x+8

This is a linear equation which graphs a straight line. So we just need 2 points

If x = 0, then

y=3x+8
y=3*0+8
y = 8

So if x = 0, then y = 8 giving us the ordered pair (0,8) which is one point on the line

If x = 1, then

y=3x+8
y=3*1+8
y = 11

So we know the point (1,11) is also another point on the line

Plot the two points (0,8) and (1,11) and draw a straight line through them. Make sure this line extends infinitely in both directions.

Answer 11

you will follow the same steps when it comes to graphing y=4x+5

Answer 12

thank you!

Answer 13

step1 : plot both the points (0, 8) and (1, 11)

Answer 14

step2 : draw a line passing through those two points
