Question

Graph the line y=43x+1.

Answer 1

Read explanation Please (I spent alot of time on it and its important to understand where the answer came from not just the answer!)

Explanation:

This problem is in the form of y=mx+b where m is the ratio y grows accordinly to x and b is the value of y when x is 0 (mx0 is 0, 0+b is b).

In you problem we can identify that 1 is the y intercept or when x is 0. All we have to do is find another point since 2 points make alike. Let's say x was 1. 43 * 1 +1 = 44 so when x is 1 y is 44.

Our two points are, (0,1)(1,44)

I left a picture of the graphed btw!,

Hoped this helped, Eddie

Answer 2

To graph this is is good to plot points. First, you can start by plotting the intercepts.

Y intercept is found by substituting 0 for x. In this case you get y=1 as the y int or (0,1) for the coordinate.

The X intercept is found by substituting 0 for y, and solving for x. For this, you get x=-1/43 or (-1/43,0) as the coordinate.

You can then plot the points and draw a line connecting the points to get an idea of what the graph looks like.
