Have you graphed the equation? Are you asking someone to solve and give you the answer or tell you how to use your software?

Rewrite the equation in the form y=mx + b, where m is the slop and b is the y intercept. To find the x intercept just solve for x with y being 0. when you rewrite the equation you get 0=1/2(x) + Y, bring the y to the other side and now you have -y=1/2(x) now divide off the neg sign and you will end up with y= -1/2(x), notice there is no b in this equation so the y intercept is at 0, if you set x to zero (which is where the y intercept would be you get y=0) now set y =0 and you get 0=-1/2x divide off the -1/2 and you get x=0. So this line goes through the origin and the x and y intercepts are both zero. The slope of the line is -1/2 so it decrease going from left to right.

Find the equations of circles passing through (1,-1),touching the lines 4x+3y+5=0 and 3x-4y-10=0

First, I graphed the lines and the point using Desmos.com.

I noticed that the two lines are perpendicular to each other and the point (1,-1) appears to be on the right side of the circle, on a line parallel to 3x -4y-10=0. The equation of this line is y= 3/4x - 1.75. The y-intercept is -1.75. Now we have two points on the opposite sides of the circle, (1, -1) and (0,-1.75). The midpoint formula will give you the centre of the circle and the distance formula will provide the radius.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Good luck.

Find the x- and y-intercepts and graph the equation plotting the intercepts. Please show all of your work. Submit your graph to the Dropbox.5x-4y=-10

Use the definitions of the intercepts.
x-intercepts (or zeros or roots) are the values of the independent variables that make the function equal to zero. To obtain an intercept set y=0 in equation : 5x=-10, mean x=-10/5=-2
y-intercept: value of y when x=0.
Just set x=0 in equaltion and solve for y
-4y=-10, gives y=5/2

And Sorry, I cannot enter the answer in the drop box.

What is the y and x intercept of x+4y=4

x-intercept: set y=0, and find x=4
The intercept point on the x-axis is (4,0)
y-intercept: set x=0, and find y=4/4=1
The intercept point on the y-axis is (0,1)

How do I use this calculator to find the x and y intercepts when the problem has both the x and y letters. it will not allow me to enter the full equation. example problem is 2x-5y=20 and I need to find...

x-intercept (or zero of the function)
Set y=0 in the equation and solve fo x: 2x-5(0)=20 and x=20/2=10

y-intercept (initial value)
Set x= 0 in the equation and solve for y: 2(0)-5y=20 and y=20/(-5)=-4

If the equation is in the slope-intercept form y=ax+b
1. y-intercept is b
2. To get the x-intercept ( zero of the function) Set y=0=ax+b, and x=-b/a

Can i ask how to answer this?2x-4y-9=o

That is an equation describing a straight line. The "slope-intercept" form of a line is

y = mx + b

where m is the slope (change in y-value / change in x-value)
and b is the y-intercept (the point where the line crosses the y-axis when x=0)

Positive slope means the line is rising and negative slope means it's falling.

You can rewrite the original equation 2x - 4y -9 = 0 in slope-intercept form:

y = (1/2)x - (9/4)

So you know the slope is positive 1/2 (line rises 1 y-unit for each 2 x-unit change) and crosses the y-axis at -9/4. With this information you can graph the line.

2X+4Y=-8

2x + 4y = -8 ; divide each side by 2
x + 2y = -4 ; subtract x from both sides
2y = -4 - x ; rearrange
2y = -1x -4 ; divide each side by 2
y = -1/2x - 2 ; relate to slope/intercept form of line (y=mx+b)

implies there are multiple solutions that fall along a line with slope -1/2 and y intercept of -2

How do I solve x and y in the following equations? 5x+3y=6 2x-4y=5 Thank you

You can solve it with following method.

5x+3y=6 2x-4y=5
So 5x=6-3y so 2[(6-3y)/5]-4y=5
So x=(6-3y)/5 so 12-6y-20y=25
so -26y=25-12
so -26y=13
so y= -(1/2)
2x-4y=5
so 2x=5+4y
so 2x=5+4(-1/2)
so 2x=(10-4)/2
so 2x=6/4
so x =3/2

The value of x=3/2 and value of y= -1/2

Let me know if you need further assistance.
Thanks for using FixYa.
