Question

Use a table of values to graph the equation

y-4x= -1

Answer 1

Assuming, you are to create your own table of values, I suggest you
1. Solve the equation for y
2. Choose numbers for x (x=0 and x=1 are easiest since you only need two points to graph a line).
3. Plug the numbers in the equation for y in place of x. The solution is a y value
4. Create a table with the columns labeled x and y
5. Write your chosen x values in the column labeled x
6. Write the y values you computed in Step 3 in the y column
7. This is the table of values! Graph the x and y pairs on paper. Draw a line thru the dots. Make sure the line does not just connect the dots but extends past the dots.

Praise GOD!! You are finished!!

Answer 2

in order to graph the equation you first get the y all by itself on one side of the equals sign. so, it would be y=4x-1 because you can add 4x to both sides. Then, you plug in multiple values for x and find out what the y value would be when x is equal to that. This gives you a point on the graph. For example, if you plug in 1 for x the equation would be y=4(1)-1 which is equal to y=4-1 so y=3 The point, then, would be (1, 3) because you put the x value first. Make a table where the left side of the column is the x value and the right side of the table is the y value when the x equals what is on the left side. Sorry if this was a little confusing, but i hope it helps.

Answer 3

An easy approach would be to rewrite the equation in an equivalent form as: y = 4x-1. Now you can make a table of values by assigning the x (independent value) values, substituting them in, and then simplifying to solve for the corresponding value of y (dependent value). Consider this as a start:
See the supporting work (substituting the values of x in to solve for the corresponding value of y) below the table of values.


x | y
---------
-2 | -9
0 | -1
1 | 3

If x = -2, then y = 4(-2)-1 = -8-1 = -9 Plot the point (-2, -9)
If x = 0, then y = 4(0)-1 = 0-1 = -1 Plot the point (0, -1)
If x = 1, then y = 4(1)-1 = 4-1= 3 Plot the point (1, 3)

Now plot the points on a piece of graph paper and use a straight-edge (ruler) to sketch the line that passes through all of the points. Give it a try. :-)

Answer 4

You need to isolate "y". So: y - 4x = -1 becomes y = 4x - 1.

Now that your equation is in the right format, plug in values for "x". Use -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, but start at higher numbers if needed. Example: -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0 etc...

Creating a table of values is an easy thing to do. Make a table, something similar to:

X | Y
--------------
-3 | -13
--------------
- 2 | -9
--------------

... and so on...

The Y value is the number you obtain from plugging in -3 into y = 4x - 1.

Answer 5

Ok...

To create a table, just pick values for x or y and solve for the other variable, such as:

x = 1, y - 4(1) = -1, y - 4 = -1, y = 3
(1, 3)

x = 2, y - 4(2) = -1, y - 8 = -1, y = 7
(2, 7)

x = 0, y - 4(0) = -1, y - 0 = -2, y = -1
(0, -1)

There are 3 points :) If you need more, plug in other values for x!

Best of luck, my friend!

Answer 6

First...... x needs to go before y.
4x-y= -1
make a table by drawing a horizontal line and two vertical lines down the middle of that line. x is on the left side of the table the equation is in the middle and y is on the right. insert: -1, 0, 1, and 2 for x. insert x in the equation and solve for y.

4(-1) -y= -1
-4-y= -1
+4 +4
(-1) -y= 3(-1)
y= -3
then graph as (4,-3),.......

is this what you wanted?

Answer 7

This sort of question cannot easily be answered on here.

Pick several x values. Plug the x's in the equation and solve for y. Write the y values next to the corresponding x value. Graph the points. Draw a line through the points you have graphed.

Answer 8

y-4x=-1 0r,y=1+4x, Hence for the values of x=0,1,and 2 the respective values of y will be 1,5 and 9. So take the points (0,1),(1,5) and (2,9)

Answer 9

y=4x-1
when x=-2 y=-9
when x=-1 y=-5
when x=0 y=-1
when x=1 y=3
when x=2 y=7
the ordered pairs are
(-2,-9);(-1,-5);(0,-1);
(1,3);(2,7)

Answer 10

First y = 4X-1
-----------------
x ||||||||||||||||||||||| y
-----------------
-10 |||||||||||||||| -41

-3 |||||||||||||||||| -13

-2 |||||||||||||||||||||| -9

-1 |||||||||||||||||||||| -5

0 |||||||||||||||||||||| -1

1 |||||||||||||||||||||||| 3

2 |||||||||||||||||||||| 7

3 ||||||||||||||||||||||| 11

10 |||||||||||||||||||||| 39
_______________________

Put your points at (-10,-41) ||| (-3,-13) ||| (-2, -9) ||| (-1,-5) ||| (0, -1) ||| (1,3) ||| (2,7) ||| (3,11) ||| (10,39)

This should be good enough to draw a graph. Good Luck!
