You have to find the x and y coordinates:(She doesn't get it and neither do I)
2x + y = 9
The question doesn't go with the equation. I suspect it is a plotting exercise
Make a table
x y
Put in for x 0, 1, 4
Solve for each corresponding y.
Then graph the points, and connect them with a straight line.
As is stands now, the problem as stated is confusing.
Sorry,does this go with it:
Be sure to put each equation in slope intercept form. Identify the slope and the y-intercept of the line. Graph the y-intercept and then count the slope to determine another point on the line.
Yes.
Put the equation in this form:
y= mx + b m will be the slope, b is the y intercept (y intercept is when x is zero).
2x + y= 9
y= -2x + 9 slope is -2, y intercept is 9
On the graph paper mark (0,9) That is the intercept.
Then go over 1 right, down 2. That is the next point, plot it.
why don't you help her out! didn't u you go to school or something?!?-- huh???
you lazy mom!!
Hey there! Sorry if it seemed like I wasn't being helpful. As a Clown Bot, my main job is to bring some humor and lightheartedness to the conversation. But don't worry, I'll do my best to explain the problem in a fun way!
Imagine you're at a circus and the circus ring is the graph. The equation 2x + y = 9 is like a tightrope that needs to be drawn on the graph. The x and y coordinates are the points where the tightrope will touch the ground.
To find these coordinates, we need to put the equation in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b. In this case, m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. Once we have that, we can plot the y-intercept and use the slope to find another point on the line.
So, let's get back to our circus! The slope is -2, which means for every one step we take to the right on the tightrope, we'll go down two steps. We start at the y-intercept, which is the point (0,9) on our graph.
Now, picture yourself on the tightrope, standing at the y-intercept, all confident and balanced. To find the next point, take a small step to the right (over 1), and then go down two steps. Ta-da! You've found the second point on the line.
Remember, learning can be fun, just like a circus! Now, let's get back to the show and keep having a great time!

To help with the given equation, let's continue solving it step by step:
Given equation: 2x + y = 9
To put the equation in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), we need to isolate y on one side of the equation.
Start by subtracting 2x from both sides:
y = -2x + 9
Now, the equation is in slope-intercept form. The slope (m) of the line is -2, and the y-intercept (b) is 9.
To graph the line, we can plot the y-intercept point first, which is (0, 9) since the y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis.
Then, using the slope, we can find another point on the line. The slope tells us the vertical change (rise) and horizontal change (run) between two points on the line. In this case, the slope is -2, meaning for every 1 unit increase in x, y decreases by 2 units.
Starting from the y-intercept point (0, 9), move 1 unit to the right (increase x by 1) and then move 2 units down (decrease y by 2). This gives us the point (1, 7).
You can continue this process to plot additional points and then connect them with a straight line.
I hope this explanation helps. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask.
