Graph the following; calculate the slope, x-intercept and y-intercept and label the intercepts on a graph.
4.2x+3.8y=1.9
To find the slope put the equation in slope intercept form: , where m=slope and (0,b)=y-intercept

The slope m= -4.2/3.8 or approximately -1.0526
The y intercept is (0,b)=(0,.5)
The x intercept is found by letting y = 0 and solving for x.
0=-1.052x+.5
0-.5=-1.052x
-.5/-1.052=-1.052x/-1.052
x= approximately .47528
Plot your x and y intecepts and connect the dots.

Happy Calculating!!!
