graph the equation by plotting the points: 35-5y=0
i know how to put the solutions on the graph. i am stuck on this equation.
i think x=0 but i can not figure for y. please help me and show me the steps to solve this.
first solve for y:
35-5y=0
-5y=-35
y=7
*you can actually rewrite this as:
0x + y = 7
notice the equation has a definite value of y (which is 7) while you can substitute any number on x (since when it is multiplied by zero, the product is always zero),, y is therefore independent on the value of x,,
therefore, the graph of y=7 is a horizontal line passing through the y-axis at point (0,7), and will never pass at the x-axis,,
so there,, =)
To graph the equation 35 - 5y = 0, you need to solve it for y to find the points that you can plot on the graph.
Step 1: Start with the equation 35 - 5y = 0.
Step 2: Subtract 35 from both sides of the equation to isolate -5y.
35 - 5y - 35 = 0 - 35
-5y = -35
Step 3: Divide both sides of the equation by -5 to solve for y.
-5y / -5 = -35 / -5
y = 7
So the solution to the equation is y = 7. This means that no matter what value of x you choose, y will always be 7. Therefore, you only have one point to plot on the graph: (x, y) = (0, 7).
Now, on a graph, you would plot the point (0, 7), where x = 0 and y = 7. This is a single point on the graph, since the equation only has one solution.
