I’m really really stuck and i dont know how to do my homework. we are doing linear equations. finding the x-intercept and y-intercept forms. i forgot how to do em.
i know that for y-int. you do it like this:
y=3x-4.
y=3(0)-4
y=-4
now how do you find the x-int. please i really cant do my homework cuz i’m stuck

y=0
Therefore:
0=3x-4
Solve for X.
In more words less numbers, change Y to zero instead of X.

for linear equations. hey ty can you help me with this one?
y=4x-1
y is -1, whats x?is it a fraction...?

It’s 1/4th of that little square in your graphing paper.

i know... how bout this one? y=-x-3?
and god this reminds me of the old days...

y=-x-3
Have y as zero. And add 3 on both sides.
3=-x
Multiply each side by -1.
x=-3
Simple, no?

hey what does the f in f(x)=-1/2x-1 mean and how do you solve it?

Post the question word by word, since I don’t understand what you’re asking.

f(x) -consider it a replacement for y
Solving it?
F(x) = -1/2x-1
y= - 1/2x -1
add 1 to both sides
1= -1/2x
x=-2

Well, f stands for the function itself; f(x), which is equal to -1/2x-1.

k its the slope intercept form.
i dont know what f is in the following equation:f(x)=-1/2x-1
