Find the intercepts and then use them to graph the equation. \n" ); document.write( "5y-15=5x \n" ); document.write( "Divide thru by 5 to simplify the work. \n" ); document.write( "y-3 = x \n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"y\": \n" ); document.write( "y = x+3 \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "To get the intercepts: \n" ); document.write( "x-int?: Let y = 0, then x = -3 \n" ); document.write( "y-int?: Let x = 0, the y = 3 \n" ); document.write( "---- \n" ); document.write( "Plot the intercepts and draw a lint thru them: \n" ); document.write( "Plot: (-3,0) and (0,3) \n" ); document.write( "Graph: \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "==============================================\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Find the slope if it exists. y=-6x+8 \n" ); document.write( "Since the equation is already in slope-intercept form, \n" ); document.write( "slope = -6 \n" ); document.write( "================== \n" ); document.write( "cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
