Answer:
a) P(0, <u>2</u>), Q(<u>4</u>, 0)
b) Please find attached the plot of the points P and Q on a chart made with MS Excel
c) Please find the graph of the line that represent the function 4·x + 2·y = 8 for values of x from -2 to 3 made with the Insert Chart feature on MS Excel
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equation for the line is 4·x + 2·y = 8
a) The coordinates of P = P(0, _)
Therefore, the point 'P', which is the point where the variable y = 0, is the point the (straight line) graph intercepts the x-axis (the x-intercept)
When y = 0 from the given equation, we get;
4·x + 2·y = 8
At the point y = 0;
4·x + 2 × 0 = 8
x = 8/4 = 2
x = 2
∴ The coordinates of P = P(0, _) = P(0, <u>2</u>)
Similarly, when x = 0, we get;
4·x + 2·y = 8
At the point x = 0;
4 × 0 + 2·y = 8
y = 8/2 = 4
y = 4
∴ The coordinates of Q = Q(_, 0) = Q(<u>4</u>, 0)
b) Rewriting the given equation in terms of 'y' gives;
y = (8 - 4·x)/2 = 4 - 2·x
y = 4 - 2·x
With the help of MS Excel, the points P and Q are plotted in the attached graph
c) The line of the graph of the function 4·x + 2·y = 8 for values of x from -2 to 3 can be added by Changing the Chart Type to 'Scatter with Smooth Lines and Markers' within MS Excel as presented in the included graph of the line.
Keep in mind that whenever you have a variable inside an expression, you have to think of it as a placeholder, hiding a certain value which we haven't specified yet.
Expressions with variables are a mean to express the generic idea underneath the expression, rather than its particular value.
So, an expression like x-7 represents the idea of subtracting 7 from a particular number. Once you give a specific value to x, the expression will become an actual subtraction between numbers, and you will be able to compute its value.
So, we have several values for x, which are several ways to turn our "abstract" subtraction into an actual, computable subtraction.
