It is always easier to use an equation to find points since all you would have to do is substitute values into the equation to find the final unknown value that will tell the point. To get the equation, however, you would usually need to have some points at the start to help derive the equation in the end.

Why is a graph more informative than an equation?

A graph is more informative than an equation because a graph is easier to interpret visually, and find all the points and line them up, rather than just a slope which shows no points(data).


Why is it good practice to graph a linear equation by finding and plotting three points instead of two?

In case any of the points has been miscalculated you will not have a straight line - alerting to to the fact that there is a mistake.


How do you graph when the equation is not slope intercept form?

To graph an equation that is not in slope-intercept form, you can use the process of finding points on the graph and plotting them. Choose a few x-values, plug them into the equation to find the corresponding y-values, and plot those points on the graph. Then, connect the points with a smooth line to complete the graph.

How do you make a linear equation go through three points?

In general, a linear equation CANNOT be made to go through three points. That will only happen if the three points are collinear and in that case, the equation of the line will only require two points.


What points are on the line given by the equation y -3x 5?

But it's not an equation because there is no equal sign and no points are given.


Where an equation crosses the horizontal axis?

An equation crosses the horizontal axis at points where the output value (usually represented by (y)) is zero. These points are known as the roots or x-intercepts of the equation. To find these points, you set the equation equal to zero and solve for the variable, typically represented as (x). Graphically, this represents the points where the graph of the equation intersects the x-axis.


When we plot all the points that satisfy an equation or inequality we do what to it?

Graph it (the equation).


What is the equation of a line with points 2-8 and 00?

If you mean points of (2, -8) and (0, 0) then the equation is y = -4x


Is the two points form equation the same as linear equation?

The equations are equivalent.


How do you find x with two points and a slope?

The slope is usually derived from the equation y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. Slope: m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) As for finding intercepts, for finding the y intercept, look for the b in the equation or make x = 0, for x-intercepts, make y = 0.
