How would you set this to y=?
x-4y=5
x = 4 y + 5
4 y = x-5
y = (x-5)/4
So I don't get what the final answer is suppose to be... cuz I have to use point-plotting which I know how to do.
Well, you wanted y and there is y
If you want points, pick a couple of x values.
For example if x = 0, then y = -5/4
so a point is (0, 5/4)
Then maybe pick x = 9
then y = (9-5)/4 = 1
so a second point is (9,1)
If you are graphing that is enough because it is a straight line through those points.
To set the equation x - 4y = 5 to y = ?, we need to isolate the y variable on one side of the equation. Here's how to do it step by step:
1. Start with the equation: x - 4y = 5.
2. Move the x term to the other side of the equation by subtracting x from both sides: -4y = 5 - x.
3. To isolate the y variable, divide both sides of the equation by -4: (-4y)/-4 = (5 - x)/-4.
4. Simplify: y = (x - 5)/4.
Therefore, the equation x - 4y = 5 can be rewritten as y = (x - 5)/4.
