Question 433292: how do you graph the equation 49-7y=0
I honestly have not tried anything yet. I am unclear of how to do this. I do online classes and am having a difficult time getting my teacher to respond to my email.
Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

graph the equation 49-7y=0
----
7y = 49
y = 7
-----
Let x = 0, then y = 7 giving you point (0,7)
---
Let x = 2, then y = 7 giving you point (2,7)
---
Plot the two points and draw a line thru them
to get:

"how do you graph the equation 49-7y=0"

Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b
m is the slope of the line
b is the y-intercept of the line {where it crosses the y-axis

49 - 7y = 0
7y = 49 {added 7y to both sides}
y = 7 {divided both sides by 7 to get into slope-intercept form}

this could be written as y = 0x + 7
slope = 0
y-intercept = 7

To graph:
- put a point on 7, on the y-axis
- From there, you would normally use the slope as rise/run to get another point,
however since the slope is 0, this is a horizontal line.
So, just make a horizontal line through 7 on the y-axis
