Question

Graph the line with the equation y = 1/5 x +4

Answer 1

Explanation:

If you have 2 points you can graph the line:

Figure out what y is if x = 0

y = 1/5(0) + 4

y = 0 + 4

y = 4

so one point is (0, 4)

What if y = 0

0 = 1/5x + 4

0 + -4 = 1/5 x + 4 -4

-4 = 1/5x

multiply each side by 5/1

5/1 · -4 = 1/5x · 5/1

-20 = x

so a second point is (-20, 0)
