Question 18376: Graph the equations 1x+1y=2, -5x+1y= 20, and -5/-7x + 1y= -10/-7. What geometric figure do the graphs of the equations form? Please help me explain the steps you used to find the coordinates. Please Help!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is due by tomorrow please!!!!!!!!! Answer by MelanieBCC(40) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! the easiest way to do this is to convert each equation to the slope-intercept formula:
in this formula, m=slope, b= y-intercept, & the x and y are the coordinates of any point on the graph.
just rearrange the equation to make it fit the formula. converts to
1/1 is the slope (m), and 2 is the y-intercept (b), point (0,2)
after you plot the y-intercept, use the slope (rise/run) to find the next point
i hope this helps!
