Rewrite the equation 4x – 10y = 11 as a function of x.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "4x - 10y = 11
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "-10y = -4x + 11; subtracted 4x from both sides:
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "10y = 4x - 11; we want y to be positive, multiplied equation by -1
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "y = \"4%2F10\"x - \"11%2F10\"; divide equation by 10 to give y a coefficient of 1
\n" ); document.write( "Could also write it
\n" ); document.write( "y = .4x - 1.1
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "usually f(x) = y
\n" ); document.write( "therefore
\n" ); document.write( "f(x) = .4x - 1.1
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
