You can put this solution on YOUR website!
hI there,
\n" ); document.write( "First you sort the equation out
\n" ); document.write( "into the form y = mx + c
\n" ); document.write( "y + 5 = -3/4(x - 8)
\n" ); document.write( "y + 5 = -3/4x + 6
\n" ); document.write( "y = -3/4x + 6 - 5
\n" ); document.write( "Equation is:
\n" ); document.write( "y = -3/4x + 1
\n" ); document.write( "......
\n" ); document.write( "Now by putting values of x into
\n" ); document.write( "the equation, you will generate values for y
\n" ); document.write( "I would use x = 4 and x = -4
\n" ); document.write( "x = 4:
\n" ); document.write( "y = -3/4(4) + 1
\n" ); document.write( "y = -3 + 1
\n" ); document.write( "y = -2
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "x = -4
\n" ); document.write( "y = -3/4(-4) + 1
\n" ); document.write( "y = 3 + 1
\n" ); document.write( "y = 4
\n" ); document.write( "Now you have two points to plot
\n" ); document.write( "on your graph.
\n" ); document.write( "(4, -2) (-4, 4)
\n" ); document.write( "Draw a line between them and
\n" ); document.write( "you have your graph.
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps:-)
