7x+2y=0\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "isolate y
\n" ); document.write( "2y=-7x
\n" ); document.write( "y=-7/2x\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "This is the equation for the line.
\n" ); document.write( "To get coordinates, plug in a value for either y or x and solve for the other variable.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Plug in 2 for x
\n" ); document.write( "y=-7/2(2)
\n" ); document.write( "y=-7
\n" ); document.write( "(2,-7)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Plug in 4 for x
\n" ); document.write( "y=-7/2(4)
\n" ); document.write( "y=-14
\n" ); document.write( "(4,-14)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Plug in 1 for x
\n" ); document.write( "y=-7/2(1)
\n" ); document.write( "y=-7/2
\n" ); document.write( "(1, -7/2)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Continue this pattern to discover some more points to plot on the line. This graph verifies the points we have already come up with.\r

Solved by pluggable solver: DESCRIBE a linear EQUATION: slope, intercepts, etc
Equation \"7+x+%2B+2+y+=+0\" describes a sloping line. For any
\n" ); document.write( " equation ax+by+c = 0, slope is \"-a%2Fb+=+-7%2F2\".
  • X intercept is found by setting y to 0: ax+by=c becomes ax=c. that means that x = c/a. 0/7 = 0.
  • Y intercept is found by setting x to 0: the equation becomes by=c, and therefore y = c/b. Y intercept is 0/2 = 0.
  • Slope is -7/2 = -3.5.
  • Equation in slope-intercept form: y=-3.5*x+0.

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Also, if you are asked if a certain point (set of coordinates) is a solution to the problem, you can either plug in into the equation for the line, or reference the graph of the line to see if that point is included.
