Graph the following; calculate the slope, x-intercept and y-intercept and label the intercepts on a graph.
\n" ); document.write( "4.2x+3.8y=1.9\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "To find the slope put the equation in slope intercept form: \"highlight%28y=mx%2Bb%29\", where m=slope and (0,b)=y-intercept
\n" ); document.write( "\"4.2x%2B3.8y=1.9\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-4.2x%2B4.2x%2B3.8y=-4.2x%2B1.9\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"3.8y=-4.2x%2B1.9\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"3.8y%2F3.8=-4.2x%2F3.8%2B1.9%2F3.8\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=%28-4.2%2F3.8%29x%2B.5\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=-1.0526x%2B.5\"
\n" ); document.write( "The slope m= -4.2/3.8 or approximately -1.0526
\n" ); document.write( "The y intercept is (0,b)=(0,.5)
\n" ); document.write( "The x intercept is found by letting y = 0 and solving for x.
\n" ); document.write( "0=-1.052x+.5
\n" ); document.write( "0-.5=-1.052x
\n" ); document.write( "-.5/-1.052=-1.052x/-1.052
\n" ); document.write( "x= approximately .47528
\n" ); document.write( "Plot your x and y intecepts and connect the dots.
