Studdy Solution
STEP 1
1. The equation given is a linear equation in two variables.
2. The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is , where is the slope and is the y-intercept.
3. To graph the linear function, we need the slope and y-intercept.
STEP 2
1. Rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form.
2. Identify the slope and y-intercept from the equation.
3. Use the slope and y-intercept to graph the linear function.
STEP 3
Start with the given equation:
Isolate to rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form. First, move and to the other side:
STEP 4
Divide every term by 9 to solve for :
This is the slope-intercept form of the equation.
STEP 5
Identify the slope () and y-intercept () from the equation :
Slope ():
Y-intercept ():
STEP 6
To graph the linear function, start by plotting the y-intercept on the graph at point .
STEP 7
Use the slope to find another point. The slope means that for every 9 units you move to the right (positive x-direction), you move 7 units down (negative y-direction).
From the y-intercept (0, 7), move 9 units to the right to (9, 7), then move 7 units down to (9, 0).
STEP 8
Draw a line through the points (0, 7) and (9, 0) to graph the linear function.
