Question

Graph the equation 2x-4 =0

Answer 1

Do I find x and y intercepts?

Answer 2

y is not in this equation at all, right?

Answer 3

or y=mx+b 0= 2x-4 4=2x x=2 (0,2) y intercept is 2?

Answer 4

right Jim

Answer 5

Y is not in equation which is what is confusing me

Answer 6

ok then just solve for x. What do you get?

Answer 7

oh nvm i see it

Answer 8

you got x = 2 which is correct

Answer 9

the graph of `x = 2` is a vertical line because EVERY point on this line has an x coordinate of 2

some points on this line are (2,3), (2,5), (2,7)
it doesn't matter what y is. y can be any number you want

Answer 10

Ohhhhhhh, ok - I was lost without both variables

Answer 11

vertical line on 2 right

Answer 12

yeah it's just like before when you had that equation with just y in it

Answer 13

ok one last thing - if I have equation in slope intercept form, I put y as 0 and solve for x to get x intercept?

Answer 14

that is correct

Answer 15

Thank you so much. I don't need answers but explanations so I can learn this. Many give me just answers and leave me to figure it out on my own!

Answer 16

I'm glad to be of help.
