\n" ); document.write( "Solve for y\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "7x + 8y = 16
\n" ); document.write( "8y = -7x + 16
\n" ); document.write( "y = -7x/8 + 16/8
\n" ); document.write( "y = (-7/8)x + 2\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Compare this to y = mx+b to find...
\n" ); document.write( "m = -7/8 = slope
\n" ); document.write( "b = 2 = y intercept
\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "------------------------------\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "To graph this, plot the point (0,2) to represent the y intercept.
\n" ); document.write( "Then move down 7 and right 8 due to the slope. This should have you go from (0,2) to (8,-5)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Plot the points (0,2) and (8,-5). Draw a straight line through them.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "Desmos is a handy graphing tool I recommend. Another useful graphing tool is GeoGebra.
\n" ); document.write( "If you prefer a TI83 or similar, then stick to that option.
