How do you graph #56-8y=0# by plotting points?

Answer 1

First, we will rewrite the equation so it's easier to graph.

Let's solve for #y#:

#56-8y=0# #-8y=-56# #y=7#

What does this equation mean? It means that we have a horizontal at the y-value of #7#! As long as each point has #7# as a y-coordinate, we can plot the points we want. Here are some to help you get started:

#(0,7)# #(2,7)# #(4,7)# #(-2,7)# #(-4,7)#

To graph the equation 56 - 8y = 0 by plotting points, you can follow these steps:

Solve the equation for y: 56 - 8y = 0 → 8y = 56 → y = 56 / 8 → y = 7.
Choose a few x-values and find the corresponding y-values using the equation.
Plot the points (x, y) on the coordinate plane.
Draw a straight line connecting the plotted points.

For example:

When x = 0, y = 7. Plot the point (0, 7).
When x = 7, y = 7. Plot the point (7, 7).
When x = 14, y = 7. Plot the point (14, 7).

Connect these points with a straight line. This line represents the graph of the equation 56 - 8y = 0.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
