You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Do you need to find the x and y coordinates of 2y=5x-6? Your question does not specify, so I'm going to assume thsi is what you are looking for.
.
Steps to follow:
1. Draw a long "t" in your notebook (long vertically, not horizontaly). Use the left side for x values and the right side for y values. This is very useful to keep a tally of values.
2. Write 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 in the x column.
3. Plug each value in the equation to find the y values. There are your coordinates!
.
Problem:
2y=5x-6
y=%285x-6%29%2F2
.
y=%285%2A1-6%29%2F2
y=%285-6%29%2F2
y=-%281%2F2%29
Now you know that when x=1, y=-1/2. This is your first set of coordinates.
.
y=%285%2A2-6%29%2F2
y=%2810-6%29%2F2
y=4%2F2
y=2
Now you know that when x=2, y=2. This is your second set of coordinates.
.
Continue doing the same operation with as many numbers as you want or need.
Done!
