Question

How do we most easily graph an equation in the form Ax+By=C? Explain, and use at least one example.

Answer 1

Rewrite the equation into the form of "y=mx+b", plot the y-intercept (b), plot the x-intercept(s), then create the line.

Explanation:

Example: 2x + y = 1

1. Rewrite: y = -2x + 1
2. Plot y-intercept: (0, 1)
3. Plot x-intercept: (1/2, 0)
4. Draw line

I hope this helps!
