First, let's find the x and y intercepts
In the first equation
y - 4x = -1
Put x =0
y= - 1
(0, -1)
Put y=0 and the n solve for x
0 - 4x = -1
-4x = -1
x=0.25
(0.25 , 0)
The points for the first equation is (0, -1 ) and (0.25, 0)
Next is to find the intercts for the second equation
y + x = 4
put x=0
y = 4
(0, 4)
Put y =0
0 + x = 4
x = 4
( 4, 0)
The points for the second equation are;
(0, 4) and (4, 0)
Below is the graph
Answer:
3. 2x + y = −1
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the equation of the line, we write it first in the slope-intercept form:
where
m is the slope
q is the y-intercept
From the graph, we see that the line crosses the y-axis at y = -1, so the y-intercept is -1:
Now we have to find the slope, by calculating the rate of change of the line through 2 points:
Taking the two points at (-2,3) and (1,-3), we find:
So the equation of the line is
Now we have to re-arrange it in the standard form, so in the form
where a, b and c are integer numbers.
To do that, we simply add +2x on both sides of the equation of the line in the slope-intercept form, and we get:
So, option 3).
