How do you graph a line written in standard form

1 answer:

4 0

Ok so standard form is a bit tricky, but I’ll help explain

Here’s and example:

If you have 2x+5y=10 here is how you would solve it

First you divide the x value by what the number is equal to (in our example, 10), and then we get 10/2 is 5. So now we know that

x is equal to five

Keep that in mind. Now we just have to do the same thing for the y value. 5/10 is 2, so you know that

y is equal to two

NOW you put those two together, and graph on the intercepts (the positions on the y and x axis where the lines intercept)

You would put a line on the x axis at 5, and on the y axis at 2

If you have any questions, you can ask

What is 12% of 85 im having a hard time with this question

The answer is 10.2.
Since it's a percentage, you move the decimal two places to the left which gives you 0.12. Then, you multiply that by 85 and you get 10.2.

The sign shows distances from a rest stop to the exits for different towns along a straight section of highway. The state depart

Refer to the diagram shown below.

The exit for Freestone is built midway between Roseville and Edgewood,
therefore the distance from O to the new exit is
(1/2)*(33+55) = 44 mi.

Let x = distance from Midtown to the new exit.
Because the distance from O to the new exit is equal to (x + 17), therefore
x + 17 = 44
x = 44 - 17 = 27 mi.

Answer:
When the new exit is built, the distance from the exit for Midtown to the exit for Freestone will be 27 miles.
