What is the slope and intercept for #2x-y=1# and how would you graph it?

Answer 1

Nathan Axel

#m=2#
#y_(x=0)=-1#

First solve for #y# and get #y=-(1-2x)#

Now we want to know #m# which can be found as the coefficient of #x#. we know this because #y=mx+C#. Here #m#=2

Now for #f_(0)# or #C# This is #-1 # in this equation

The slope-intercept form of the equation (2x - y = 1) is (y = 2x - 1). The slope is (2) and the y-intercept is (-1). To graph it, plot the y-intercept at ((0, -1)) and use the slope to find additional points. Then, draw a straight line passing through these points.

Answer from HIX Tutor

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.
