Question 52245: Could you help me to better understand how to graph linear equations in two variables? In simple easy to understand terms.
1. 2x + 3y = 12
this is my solution
2(0) + 3y =12
0 + 3y/3 = 12/3
y = 4
x = 0
2. x-y = 2

You need to always solve for y; if no y, then solve for x. In this case, first subtract 2x from both sides to get . Next, divide both sides by 3 to get . Substitute a couple of values for x to solve for y in order to get two ordered pairs. Plot the two ordered pairs and connect with a straight line. The graph of this equation is:
