Explanation Given: The linear equation y = − 1 2 x Approach Used: A linear equation in two variables is an equation that can be written in the form a x + b y = c where a , b , and c are numbers, a and b are not both 0 . To graph a linear equation in two variables, follow the steps below:- i. If the equation is of form y = a where a is a number, then the graph of y = a is a horizontal line that crosses the y -axis at a and parallel to the x -axis. Else proceed to next step. ii. If the equation is of form x = a where a is a number, then the graph of x = a is a vertical line that crosses the x -axis at a and parallel to the y -axis. Else proceed to next step. iii. Find three ordered pair solutions of the given equation by assuming the x -value or y -value and replacing the x -value or y -value in the given equation. iv. Plot these three ordered pair solutions on the graph. To graph a point, its position is first located on the x -axis, then on the y -axis and the point is finally plotted when this meet. Each ordered pair corresponds to one point in the graph. v. Draw a line through the plotted points. This the graph of the given linear equation. Calculation: Since, the given equation is not of form y = a or x = a . Hence, it is not parallel to x -axis or y -axis. Finding three ordered pair solutions of the given equation by assuming the x -value and replacing the x -value in the given equation. Let x = 2 . Substituting the value in the given equation y = − 1 2 x to get the ordered pair as y = − 1 2 ( 2 ) y = − 2 2 y = − 1 Thus, the first ordered pair solution for the given equation is ( 2 , − 1 )

Family of Curves

A family of curves is a group of curves that are each described by a parametrization in which one or more variables are parameters. In general, the parameters have more complexity on the assembly of the curve than an ordinary linear transformation. These…

XZ Plane

In order to understand XZ plane, it's helpful to understand two-dimensional and three-dimensional spaces. To plot a point on a plane, two numbers are needed, and these two numbers in the plane can be represented as an ordered pair (a,b) where a and b are…
