Graph the line of the equation 8x/5 - 2y = -8 using its slope and y-intercept
1 answer:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You'll need to get this equation in slope-intercept form by solving for y. I do a little extra here to get it in the correct form, but I think it's pretty clear. Let me know if I need to clarify.
Once it's in slope-intercept form, both the slope and the y-intercept are readily available so you can easily graph it. I graphed both of them in the attached image so you can see that they are the same line.

Step 1) Draw a dashed line through the points (0,6) and (4,7). These two points are on the line y = (1/4)x+6. To find those points, you plug in x = 0 to get y = 6. Similarly, plug in x = 4 to get y = 7. The dashed line indicates that none of the points on this line are part of the solution set.
Step 2) Draw a dashed line through (0,-1) and (1,1). These two points are on the line y = 2x-1. They are found in a similar fashion as done in step 1.
Step 3) Shade the region that is above both dashed lines. We shade above because of the "greater than" sign. This is shown in the attached image I am providing below. The red shaded region represents all of the possible points that are the solution set. Once again, any point on the dashed line is not in the solution set.
