SOLUTION: y=5/4+x/4. Graph the equation by plotting points. I have no idea what to do with the x/4, and there doesn't seem to be an example of any situation similar to this in the book.

Question 194219: y=5/4+x/4. Graph the equation by plotting points.
I have no idea what to do with the x/4, and there doesn't seem to be an example of any situation similar to this in the book. The question has possible answers, all graphs, and NONE of the answers even remotely make sense.

y=5/4+x/4. Graph the equation by plotting points.
------------
When the denominators are the same you can add the fractions:
-------------
y = (5+x)/4
---------------
Let x = 3. then y = 2, giving you point (3,2)
Let x = 7, then y = 3, giving you point (7,3)
----
Plot those two points and draw a line thru them.
