-x+4y=2 I need x and y

Question

Solve for x and y

 

Answer 1

This is the equation of a line which contains infinite points.

You can plot a couple of points and graph the line, but there

are infinite values of x and y

 

-x + 4y = 2

4y = x + 2

y = (x+2)/4

 

x     (x+2)/4     y

-----------------------

-2   (-2+2)/4     0

2     (2+2)/4     1

6     (6+2)/4     2

 

Three points on the line are (-2,0), (2,1), (6,2)
