Question 1050317
{{{ x - 2y = 8 }}}
Pick any value you want for {{{ x }}}
I'll say {{{ x = -12 }}}
Now solve for {{{ y }}}
{{{ -12 - 2y = 8 }}}
Add {{{ 12 }}} to both sides
{{{ -2y = 20 }}}
Divide both sides by {{{ -2 }}}
{{{ y = -10 }}}
-------------------
So, a solution to the equation is:
( -12, -10 )
You can use the same method to
find any point on the line you want
