: How do I solve the problem when I have to graph the equation with the x before the = sign. the problem is x-y=4.
a. write the coordinates of two points on each line whose equation is given.
b. Use the coordinates to find the slope of the line.
c.hat is the slope of a lone that is parallel to each line whose equation is given.
d. what is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line whose equation is given? This question is from textbook amsco's integrated algebra
You can put this solution on YOUR website! you have to move the x and the constants to the right side of the equation and move the y to the left side of the equation.
then use the slope intercept form of the equation to find the slope and the y intercept if not given.
-----
here's how.
-----
your equation is:
x - y = 4
add y to both sides of the equation.
x = y + 4
subtract 4 from both sides of the equation.
x - 4 = y
exchange sides of equation (it remains the same: if a = b, then b = a)
y = x - 4
this is the slope intercept form of the equation.
the general equation for the slope intercept form of the equation is: y = m*x + b
in your equation,
m = 1
b = -4
-----
m is the slope. b is the y-intercept (value of y when x = 0).
-----
now that you have the equation in the slope intercept form, you can graph it easily.
here's a graph of the equation y = x - 4
