To graph: the equation
Answer to Problem 4CT
The x -intercept is
Slope of the equation is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The equation is
Calculation:
To find x -intercept just substitute 0 for y and continue to solve the equation.
This, gives that x -intercept is
Similarly, to find y -intercept just substitute 0 for x and continue to solve the equation.
This, gives that y -intercept is
Now, plot the points
Now, a linear function in two variables x and y is an equation that can be written as
Consider,
Since, the given equation can be written in the form
