How do you graph #y= 5/4x+2#?

Answer 1

Since #y=5/4x+2# is a linear equation, we only need to find two solution coordinates; plot them and draw a line through them.

#y=5/4x+2# is a linear equation (in slope-intercept form, although I won't particularly use this information)

As long as we pick values of #x# that are multiples of #4#, we we obtain integer values for #y# (which should make the plotting easier).

The values of #x# that I decided to use are #0# and #4# giving the #(x,y)# solution points #(0,2)# and #(4,7)#

Plotting these points and drawing a line through them produced the image:

To graph the equation y = (5/4)x + 2, you can follow these steps:

Plot the y-intercept, which is 2. This point is (0, 2).
Use the slope, which is 5/4, to find another point. The slope tells you to go up 5 units and then right 4 units from the y-intercept point. Plot this point.
Draw a straight line passing through both plotted points to represent the graph of the equation y = (5/4)x + 2.

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.
