Lets solve for
Solved by pluggable solver: Graphing Linear Equations


Start with the given equation



Add to both sides

Multiply both sides by

Distribute

Multiply

Rearrange the terms

Reduce any fractions

So the equation is now in slope-intercept form () where (the slope) and (the y-intercept)

So to graph this equation lets plug in some points

Plug in x=-1



Multiply

Add

So here's one point (-1,9)





Now lets find another point

Plug in x=0



Multiply

Add

So here's another point (0,8). Add this to our graph





Now draw a line through these points

So this is the graph of through the points (-1,9) and (0,8)


So from the graph we can see that the slope is (which tells us that in order to go from point to point we have to start at one point and go down -1 units and to the right 1 units to get to the next point), the y-intercept is (0,)and the x-intercept is (,0) . So all of this information verifies our graph.


We could graph this equation another way. Since this tells us that the y-intercept (the point where the graph intersects with the y-axis) is (0,).


So we have one point (0,)






Now since the slope is , this means that in order to go from point to point we can use the slope to do so. So starting at (0,), we can go down 1 units


and to the right 1 units to get to our next point



Now draw a line through those points to graph


So this is the graph of through the points (0,8) and (1,7)

Subtract from both sides

Multiply both sides by

Distribute

Multiply

Rearrange the terms

Reduce any fractions

So the equation is now in slope-intercept form () where (the slope) and (the y-intercept)

So to graph this equation lets plug in some points

Plug in x=-6



Multiply

Add

Reduce

So here's one point (-6,8)





Now lets find another point

Plug in x=-3



Multiply

Add

Reduce

So here's another point (-3,6). Add this to our graph





Now draw a line through these points

So this is the graph of through the points (-6,8) and (-3,6)


So from the graph we can see that the slope is (which tells us that in order to go from point to point we have to start at one point and go down -2 units and to the right 3 units to get to the next point), the y-intercept is (0,)and the x-intercept is (,0) . So all of this information verifies our graph.
