Question

Draw the graph of the linear equation 2x – y + 1 = 0. From the graph find the values of h and k if the graph passes through the point (h,4) and (1/2 , k)

Answer 1

Answer + Step-by-step explanation:

2x – y + 1 = 0

We know that the graph of a linear equation is a line.

So ,in order to draw it we need to find two points A and B of the line

Afterward, we join A and B to get the graph.

2x – y + 1 = 0

If x = 0 → y = 1 ⇒ A(0 , 1) lie on the line AB (the graph)

If x = 1 → y = 3 ⇒ B(1 , 3) lie on the line AB

Now ,all we have to do is plotting A and B

on the coordinates plane ,then connecting then with a line.

According to the graph (check the attached image) :

If (h,4) ∈ line AB ⇒ h = 3/2

If (1/2 , k) ∈ line AB ⇒ k = 2
