Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's solve the problem from the image. The equation given is:
Step 1: Simplify the equation
Solve for in terms of to rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form ():
Step 2: Find two points
To graph the line, select at least two values for , substitute them into the equation, and calculate the corresponding -values.
Example:
-
Let : Point:
-
Let : Point:
Step 3: Plot these points
- Plot on the graph.
- Plot on the graph.
Step 4: Draw the line
Connect the two points with a straight line, and extend it across the graph.
Would you like a graphical solution or further clarification? Here are some related questions for practice:
- What is the slope of the line , and how does it affect the graph?
- How would the line change if the equation was ?
- How can you determine the -intercept and -intercept from the equation?
- How do you verify if a point (e.g., ) lies on the line ?
- What is the significance of graphing two points accurately?
Tip: Always choose simple -values (like 0, 1, or 2) for substitution when finding points to plot a straight line.
