Algebra.Com's Answer #326528 by josmiceli(19441)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Think of the equation as a long series of points \n" ); document.write( "that make up a straight line. The straight line and the \n" ); document.write( "equation are the same thing. \n" ); document.write( "The convention for showing a point is: \n" ); document.write( "(x,y) \n" ); document.write( "You need both an x and a y to be a point, but they \n" ); document.write( "must be points on this line. \n" ); document.write( "You can determine the points this way: \n" ); document.write( "(0,?) \n" ); document.write( "(1,?) \n" ); document.write( "(2,?) \n" ); document.write( "(3,?) \n" ); document.write( "(4,?) \n" ); document.write( "(5,?) \n" ); document.write( "etc. \n" ); document.write( "Or, this way: \n" ); document.write( "(?,0) \n" ); document.write( "(?,1) \n" ); document.write( "(?,2) \n" ); document.write( "(?,3) \n" ); document.write( "(?,4) \n" ); document.write( "(?,5) \n" ); document.write( "etc. \n" ); document.write( "So, given the x or y, you can find the point that \n" ); document.write( "falls on the line. \n" ); document.write( "--------------- \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "The y-intercept occurs where \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "The graph is: \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "---------------------------- \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "This just says: No matter what number I choose for y, I will \n" ); document.write( "alway have \n" ); document.write( "(2,y), and y can be any number. This is plotted as a vertical line \n" ); document.write( "-------------------------- \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
