How do you graph line in slope intercept fom?

The "form" only refers to how the equation of the line is written. It has no effect on what the line looks like when the equation is graphed. To graph a linear equation, no matter what form it's written in: -- Pick a number for 'x'. Use the equation to calculate 'y'. Graph the point. -- Pick another 'x'. Use the equation to calculate the new 'y'. Graph the point. -- Draw a straight line between the two points, and as much farther as you want to in either or both directions.


How can you tell if the graph of an equation in the form ax2 plus by2 equals c is a circle or an ellipse?

If a = b then it is a circle; otherwise it is an ellipse.

How do you graph 4x 3y equals 336?

The x intercept is at (84, 0) and the y intercept is at (0, 112) and so with a line join the points together which then will form a graph for the given equation.


Why is an equation written in the form Ax plus By equals c called a linear equation?

The equation contains variables which are only raised to the first power.


What is 5y-90x equals 80?

It's a non-standard form of the equation for a straight-line graph with a slope of 18 and a y-intercept of 16.


How do you graph 4x plus 3y equals 336?

The x intercept is at (84, 0) and the y intercept is at (0, 112) and so with a line join the points together which then will form a graph for the given equation.


What type of graph does an equation of the form x equals a where a is any real number have and why?

It is a horizontal line in the Cartesian plane, or a vertical line in the complex plane. The reason is that these points satisfy the equation while no others do.
