OpenStudy (madr4t):

D

OpenStudy (itrymath):

How

OpenStudy (madr4t):

Do you have to explain why?

OpenStudy (madr4t):

well you solve the problem by getting y by itself so you can see the form "y=ax+b" then you will be able to plot the equation on the graph that comes to look like D

OpenStudy (itrymath):

i need to be sure this is algebra the class im failing lol

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

There is an easier way.

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Do you want to know it?

OpenStudy (madr4t):

you can put in the equation into an graphing website

OpenStudy (itrymath):

no i do not

OpenStudy (itrymath):

mad you seem correct but i need to know way

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

:(

OpenStudy (itrymath):

skull teach me

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Ok

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

look at the equation 2x + 4y = 24 Let x = 0 2(0) + 4y = 24 4y = 24 y = 6 (0,6) is a solution

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

\[2x + 4y = 24 \] Subtract 2x from both sides \[4y = -2x + 24\] Divide the equation by 4 \[y = -\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }x + 6\]

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

That's good too @skullpatrol

OpenStudy (itrymath):

oh okay gotcha

OpenStudy (itrymath):

thanks ppl

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

When dealing with integers, that method is probably easier.

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Do the same for y=0 look at the equation 2x + 4y = 24 Let y = 0 2x + 4(0) = 24 2x = 24 x = 12 (12, 0) is a solution

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Plot (0,6) and (12,0)
