I need help on my homework!

How in the world do you solve this equation?! It's about Finding an Equation from the Graph. Here it is... (By the way, it's not like I'm stupid or anything...I just occasionally forget the stuff my instructor explains)

y - 2 = 3/5 (x - 4)

Here's what I need to do...

a.) Write the slope and a point on the graph

b.) Plot the graph

 

You do math, silly ^_^

 

How? If I knew how to do that, I wouldn't have posted this thread...

 

The answer is 42. It's always 42.

 

Here we go. Pay attention please. First, multiply 3/5 by the equation in the parentheses.
You should get
y - 2=3/5x - 12/5
Next, add 2 to the other side of the equation.
You should get,
y=3/5x - 12/5 + 2
Which equals,
y=3/5x - 12/5 + 10/5
Which then equals,
y=3/5x - 2/5
So, now you simply graph this, like so.
On the y - axis, find,
- 2/5
and place a point there.
Next, use
3/5x
on the graph.
Because the slope is the rise over the run, go up three and over 5.
This is your y - line. Hope that helps!

 

Thanks sora roxas60! I'll keep that in mind! (Gee I'm dumb, why didn't I think of that?!)

Or slip your teacher a buck. They need all the money they can get.

 

I think he wanted real help not obnoxious jokes >> no offence but it was. Sorry I couldnt help you and thanks Sora Roxas for really helping him.

 

wow, what he said, i can't explain it, but he's correct
oh and the graph is so easy to do
what grade are you?

 

This thread should be closed by now..... Someone get a mod up in here! ...Also, it was a pleasure helping you.

 

DAMMIT! another answer stolen!

42 is how i faile... erm passed math!
