How do you graph #x-2y=3#?
1 Answer
graph{x-2y=3 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}
Explanation:
Method 1:
Given
To do this, we need to isolate the y.
Subtract x from both sides:
Divide everything by -2:
Rearrange right-hand side to get
In this situation, the slope
The y-intercept means that the graph will intersect the y-axis (the vertical axis) at the point
The slope is equivalent to
Since we know the slope and y-intercept, we also know that
Method 2:
Alternatively, you can find the graph of this line by finding the x-intercept
To find the x-intercept, set
The x-intercept is
To find the y-intercept, set
The y-intercept is
Plot the x-intercept and y-intercept and connect both points.
