Question 224315: -2x-8y= 16 graph
Answer by rapaljer(4671)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! -2x-8y=16
If x=0, then -8y=16, so y=-2
(0,-2)
If y=0, then -2x=16, so x=-8
(-8,0)
Graph these two points, connect the dots, and it should look like this:
To see my COMPLETE explanation of this topic, I hope you will check out my own website. I have a LOT of help for you there. To find my website, do a "Bing" Search for my last name "Rapalje". Look for "Rapalje Homepage" near the top of the search list. Then, near the top of my Homepage, look for "Basic, Intermediate and College Algebra: One Step at a Time," select "Basic Algebra" and in "Chapter 4", you will find "Section 4.01, 4.02, and 4.03" all on topics that pertain to Graphing and Slope of a Line. This is my own non-traditional explanation that my own students have found MUCH easier to understand than the traditional textbooks. In addition to my explanations, examples and exercises, I have my "MATH IN LIVING COLOR" pages where I solved many of these exercises IN COLOR!!
There is also a video filmed in my own classes a few years ago that can be viewed FREE from my website. To see these videos, from my Homepage, look for "Rapalje Videos in Living Color". Select Basic Algebra, and look for the topic "Graphing and Slope of a Line"!!
