Question 74218: I don't understand how to graph equations. Say for example the problem is
4x-3y=12 and you have to solve the equation and graph. Could you help me out

FIRST YOU HAVE TO TRANSLATE THIS EQUATION TO THE FORM Y=mX+b WHERE m=SLOPE & b=Y INTERCEPT.
4X-3Y=12 NOW WE HAVE TO SOVE FOR Y THUS:
-3Y=-4X+12 NOW DIVIDE ALL TERMS BY -3 THUS:
Y=-4X/-3+12/-3
Y=4X/3-4 NOW WE GRAPH. for a line with a slope (m) of 4/3 & a y intercept (b)of -4.
(graph 300x200 pixels, x from -6 to 5, y from -10 to 10, y = 4x/3 -4).
