How does one find the x and y coordinates of y=3x+5?
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "1. Draw a long \"t\" in your notebook (long vertically, not horizontaly). Use the left side for x values and the right side for y values. This is very useful to keep a tally of values.
\n" ); document.write( "2. Write 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 in the column.
\n" ); document.write( "3. Plug this value in the equation and find the y values. There are your coordinates!
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Problem:
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=3x%2B5\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=3%2A1%2B5\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=3%2B5\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=8\" ... now you know when x=1, y=8. This is your first coordinate (1,8).
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=3x%2B5\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=3%2A2%2B5\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=6%2B5\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=11\" ... now you know when x=2, y=11. This is your second coordinate (2,11).
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Continue doing the same process for as many points as you want/need. Remember, you need at least two coordinate points in order to trace a straight line. All other coordinates you come up with using this equation must/will fall withi this line.
