Math Problem Statement
Solution
You have uploaded a set of linear equations for which you are asked to graph them using intercepts. I will go through an example of solving one of these problems by finding the intercepts and then summarize the process for all others.
Let's work on Problem 46: .
Steps:
-
Find the x-intercept (where ): So the x-intercept is .
-
Find the y-intercept (where ): So the y-intercept is .
Now, with the intercepts and , you can plot these points and draw a line through them to graph the equation.
General Steps for All Problems:
- Find the x-intercept by setting and solving for .
- Find the y-intercept by setting and solving for .
- Plot both intercepts and draw the line through them.
Would you like me to work through each equation similarly or explain the process for any specific one?
Here are 5 questions related to intercepts and graphing:
- How do you find the x-intercept of a linear equation?
- What is the significance of the y-intercept in a graph?
- Can a linear equation have no intercepts? Why or why not?
- What happens when both intercepts are the same?
- How does the slope of the line relate to the intercepts?
Tip: Always label your intercept points clearly on the graph, as they are crucial for drawing the line accurately!
