Question

How to graph x+y=2? WILL MEDAL AND FAN ;)

Answer 1

solve for y, can you do that?

Answer 2

yes. x= 2- y

Answer 3

sort of, y=2-x, im just going to assume you switched them up accidentally. so that gives you the information about the slope and the y-intercept. Can you tell me what those are?

Answer 4

the y intercept is -1, and the slope is 2?

Answer 5

not quite, theyre switched, slope is always right in front of the x so in this case its -1, and the y intercept is the number without the x, so 2 in this case

Answer 6

Ok got it. Thanks!

Answer 7

but wait, @jeweaver6895 . isn't -x the same as -1? why can't it by the the y intercept?

Answer 8

@jeweaver6895 , when u r done with this, do u mind helping my question plz?

Answer 9

thats correct, the -x corresponds to a slope of -1, its not the y-intercept because its associated with the x term.

Answer 10

Oh ok.
