Question

How do you graph a line written in standard form

Answer 1

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
