Question

Beginner's Guide to Graphing Can someone help me with graphing?

Answer 1

what are you working on

Answer 2

well nothing I am working on but just wanted to learn graphing since I want to prevent as many headaches as I can for next year since I might be doing it next year

Answer 3

do you have a specific question?

Answer 4

well y and x intercept is one question I have and also how to find a linear equation on a plane

Answer 5

algebra i guess

Answer 6

good you want to get ahead but don't stress yourself out worrying about it now

Answer 7

here is some basic info that should help you:
a linear equation is of the form y = ax + b where y is the output and x is the input, the independent variable, and b is the y value when x = 0. this b value is called the y-intercept because it is the point where the graph crosses the y-axis.

Answer 8

ah that makes sense to me

Answer 9

I kinda understand it now but could you show it to me on a graph

Answer 10

to graph a line you need a minimum of 2 points on that line.
each point has an x coordinate the horizontal value and the y-value the vertical
this is called the ordered pair (x,y)
