Question

Find two points on the line.4y + 2x = 7

Answer 1

Given the equation of a line:

4y +2x = 7

It's required to find two points on the line.

Solving for y:

`y=(7-2x)/(4)`

We give x any value and calculate the corresponding value of y.

For example, for x = 1:

`y=(7-2(1))/(4)=(5)/(4)`

The point is (1, 5/4)

Now for x = -4:

`y=(7-2(-4))/(4)=(15)/(4)`

The point is (-4, 15/4)
