Algebra.Com's Answer #35612 by funmath(2933)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! You get to pick any value you want and substitute it in for either x or y and solve the equation for the other variable. In this case x doesn't have a coefficient and y does, so it's easier to substitute numbers in for y and solve for x. Let's pick y=-2,-1,0,1,2. That way we should have an easy time solving it and get a good picture of the graph. They usually have you make a table, but I'm not able to make a table in this program. \n" ); document.write( "If y=-2 \n" ); document.write( "x+4y=5 becomes \n" ); document.write( "x+4(-2)=5 \n" ); document.write( "x-8=5 \n" ); document.write( "x-8+8=5+8 \n" ); document.write( "x=13 \n" ); document.write( "Plot (13,-2) \n" ); document.write( "If y=-1 \n" ); document.write( "x+4(-1)=5 \n" ); document.write( "x-4=5 \n" ); document.write( "x-4+4=5+4 \n" ); document.write( "x=9 \n" ); document.write( "Plot (9,-1) \n" ); document.write( "If y=0 \n" ); document.write( "x+4(0)=5 \n" ); document.write( "x+0=5 \n" ); document.write( "x=5 \n" ); document.write( "Plot (5,0) \n" ); document.write( "If y=1 \n" ); document.write( "x+4(1)=5 \n" ); document.write( "x+4=5 \n" ); document.write( "x+4-4=5-4 \n" ); document.write( "x=1 \n" ); document.write( "Plot (1,1) \n" ); document.write( "If y=2 \n" ); document.write( "x+4(2)=5 \n" ); document.write( "x+8=5 \n" ); document.write( "x+8-8=5-8 \n" ); document.write( "x=-3 \n" ); document.write( "Plot (-3,2) \n" ); document.write( "Your graph should look something like this after you connect your dots: \n" ); document.write( " |
