You can put this solution on YOUR website!
So the equation is as follows, -4x=8-2y We are supposed to graph.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "-4x = 8 - 2y
\n" ); document.write( "Put the equation in the slope/intercept form, (y = mx + b)
\n" ); document.write( "Add 2y to both sides
\n" ); document.write( "-4x + 2y = 8
\n" ); document.write( "Add 4x to both sides
\n" ); document.write( "2y = 4x + 8
\n" ); document.write( "Divide thru by 2, (y has to have a coefficient of +1)
\n" ); document.write( "y = 2x + 4, this is slope intercept form
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "To graph this choose at least two values for x, and find y
\n" ); document.write( "x = -3
\n" ); document.write( "y = 2(-3) + 4
\n" ); document.write( "y = -6 + 4
\n" ); document.write( "y = -2
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "x = 0
\n" ); document.write( "y = 2(0) + 4
\n" ); document.write( "y = 4
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "x = +2
\n" ); document.write( "y = 2(2) + 4
\n" ); document.write( "y = 4 + 4
\n" ); document.write( "y = 8
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "From this we can make a table of values that you can graph
\n" ); document.write( " x | y
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "-3 |-2
\n" ); document.write( " 0 | 4
\n" ); document.write( "+2 | 8
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Your graph should resemble this
