Question

Graph the line whose x-intercept is 5 and whose y-intercept is 9

Answer 1

Which unit and lesson?

Answer 2

mark two points
x = 0, y = 9
x = 5, y = 0
draw a line through them
or
Let's find an equation for the line to make it all clear
y= m x + b
when x = 0, it hits the y axis at b = 9
so y = m x + 9
when y = 0, it hits the x axis at x = 5
so
0 = 5m + 9
m = -9/5
so
y = -9/5 x + 9

Answer 3

plot the two intercepts
draw the line through them

for the equation, use the <u>intercept form</u>
x/5 + y/9 = 1
