Question

I have the equation down, how would I graph it?

Answer 1

Given: A equation

`G=(1)/(35)D+18`

Required: To plot the graph of the equation.

Explanation: Let the variable G be represented by the y-axis and D be represented by the x-axis o the graph.

Then we can make a table of the values of G and D.

We can give values to G or D and solve for the corresponding value of D or G, respectively.

Suppose D=35. Then we have-

`\begin{gathered} G=(1)/(35)(35)+18 \\ G=19 \end{gathered}`

Similarly, we can choose any desired value for a variable and solve for other variables' values.

Again suppose D=7, then-

`\begin{gathered} G=(1)/(35)(7)+18 \\ G=(91)/(5) \\ =18.2 \end{gathered}`

Hence we can draw a table for the values of G and D as-

We need to determine a minimum of two points to draw linear graphs.

Now plotting the values of the table on a graph-

Final Answer: The graph of the equation is drawn.
