Algebra.Com's Answer #36822 by tiffanyc(9)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The coordinates you are given are the x and y values for the linear equation. Simply substitue the coordinate you are given into the equation and isolate the other variable: \n" ); document.write( "Pair 1 (0,) so x=0 and we try to find y \n" ); document.write( "3(0)+4y=12.......4y=12...........y=3 \n" ); document.write( "so the first pair is (0,3)\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Pair 2 (,3/4) so y=3/4 and we try to find x \n" ); document.write( "3x+ 4(3/4)=12 ............3x+3=12.........3x=9.....x=3\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "And so on and so on \n" ); document.write( " |
