Question

Where will the dots be on the graph with y=5x+8
Answered by Damon
Actually you only need to pick two values for x and calculate the two y values.
Two points determine a line.
Answered by GPT 3.5
The dots will form a line on the graph since the equation y=5x+8 represents a linear function. Each dot on the graph represents a pair of x and y values that satisfy the equation. To graph this equation, you can start by choosing a few values for x, plugging them into the equation to find the corresponding y values, and then plotting these points on a coordinate plane. Connect the points with a straight line to graph the equation.

You are correct, two points are sufficient to determine a line. Let's choose two values for x and calculate the corresponding y values:

1. When x = 0, y = 5(0) + 8 = 8. Therefore, the point (0, 8) is on the graph.
2. When x = 1, y = 5(1) + 8 = 5 + 8 = 13. Therefore, the point (1, 13) is on the graph.

Now, plot these two points on the coordinate plane and draw a straight line passing through them. This line represents the graph of the equation y = 5x + 8.
