I need help with 7 please
1 answer:
First put the equation in y- intercept form y= mx + b
1/3x + y = 2
y = -1/3x + 2
From this form, we can see that the y-intercept is 2. So that point on the graph is (0, 2). Now let's find another point. Set x equal to 3. So
y = -1/3 (3) +2
y = -1 + 2 = 1
So our point is (3, 1)
Use these 2 points to graph the equation. To find other points you could use the slope to find them. The slope is represented by x in the equation (-1/3). Or you could set another x point and solve for y again. See the pic for the graph.

What can a denominator never be?
0
so, we need to figure what x can't be... the only way to multiply 2 things together to get 0 is if one or both are zero.
so, what x values make our denominator 0?
to figure this out, we need to set (x-1)(x-2)=0
now we split and solve.
so when x is 1 or 2 the function doesnt make sense.
but, x can be every other number and it does, so the answer is
ALL REAL NUMBERS not equal to 1 or 2
0
