a) At ANY x-intercept you know that the y-coordinate MUST BE 0, ALWAYS!. So the x-coordinate of the x-intercept may be found by replacing the "y" in the equation with a 0 and then solving for the value of "x". In this case you get:
Now, by dividing both sides of the last equation by 2 we will know the value that x takes when y = 0: . So, the x-intercept has coordinates, .
A similar strategy will allow you to find the y-intercept. At ANY y-intercept the x coordinate MUST BE 0, ALWAYS! So now we will replace the "x" in the equation with 0 and then solve the resulting equation for the value of "y". Here's what we get:
Now, by dividing both sides of the last equation by 5 we will find the value that y takes when x = 0 : . So, the y-intercept has coordinates, .
b) Plotting the x- and y-intercepts that we just found and then drawing a straight line through them allows us to produce the graph of the equation, . Here is the graph:
2. Find an equation for the line w/given properties Parallel to the line 5x-y=-10; containing the point (0,0)
y=___
If two lines are parallel then you know that their slopes must be equal. The easiest way to find the slope of a linear equation that you're given is to solve it for y. Once you've solved it for y the slope is just whatever number is left multiplying x. If you add y to both sides of the equation, , and ...
