Question 709735: I'm not completely sure what unit this is in so if I said wrong sorry. I'm not sure what to do with this following question. Here it is:
Use the following formulas in Standard Form to create lines on your graph.
Problem:
.3x+Y=10.3
Do I solve this or do I just graph it? If I should solve this, then how should I solve it?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You have 2 unkowns, but only 1 equation,
so you can't solve this for +x+ and +y+
( or either one ).
If you had 1 more equation, then you could
solve it for +x+ and +y+
-------------------------
You can, however, graph this formula.
+.3x+%2B+y+=+10.3+
A good way to start is to put it into the
slope-intercept form, which looks like
+y+=+m%2Ax+%2B+b+
where +m+ is the slope and +b+
is the y-intercept
----------------
+.3x+%2B+y+=+10.3+
Subtract +.3x+ from both sides
+y+=+-.3x+%2B+10.3+
Now it is in the slope-intercept form
slope = +-.3+
y-intercept = +10.3+
---------------------
Here's the graph:
