Math Problem Statement
Solution
You have provided a set of linear equations that need to be graphed using intercepts. Here's a step-by-step guide for solving these problems.
General Method for Finding Intercepts:
- X-Intercept: Set and solve for .
- Y-Intercept: Set and solve for .
Let me walk through one of the exercises and guide you on the others.
Example: Problem 45
The equation is:
-
X-Intercept: Set : So, the x-intercept is .
-
Y-Intercept: Set : So, the y-intercept is .
These points and are enough to graph the line.

Here are some related questions to explore:
- How do you find intercepts for more complex equations like ?
- How does the slope of the line affect the steepness of the graph?
- What is the geometric significance of a positive vs. negative slope?
- How would you graph horizontal or vertical lines, like or ?
- How do different forms of linear equations (slope-intercept form vs. standard form) impact the graphing method?
Tip: Always use the intercepts method when the equation is in standard form , as it simplifies graphing.
