Can someone who enjoys math, or at least knows a good deal about it, tell me how one would go about graphing x + 5 = 0..
and...
Explain how to graph a linear equation of the form Ax + Bx = C, if C does not equal zero.
and finally..
Describe the graph of x = -100.
It would help me out tons and I then would not have to wait until Wednesday to ask my math Professor.
Thanks Bunches...

The x=-100 graph is super easy, though! You just draw a vertical line at
-100. An easy way to figure that one out is to substitue a few numbers for y.
If y is 0, what is X? -100
If y is 1, whas it X? -100
If y is 2, what is X? -100
It's always -100. So those points on the graphes would be (-100,0)
(-100,1) and (-100, 2) You end up with a vertical line. Of course, it's good to remember that when x just equals something, you get a vertical line at that number, but this is a way to check if you're unsure of yourself.
OK, the x+5=0 one is a similar concept. you have to get like terms of either side of the equation, though, in order to see it. So you have to subtract 5 from each side. This will give you x = -5. Then that graph will be a vertical line at -5.
That Ax+Bx one is confusing me. Are you sure it's not Ax^2 + Bx^2 = C?

Yeah Ax+BX = C is confusing because they have the same variables and therefore you add them and that doesn't make sense.
it might be Ax^2+Bx=C... I don't know

exactly!
I'm really glad that you brought this thread up, though, Angel! I was actually looking for it this afternoon, and I couldn't find it.
I need some help from everyone thinking up ideas for an extra credit paper. Literally, anyone with ideas, just shoot them at me. I have to right a short paper on a society that shows up somewhere like on tv or in books. Then we have to explains what type of society it is that we're talked about thus far giving three examples as to why it is that type of society. It can't be like a recent society with a complicated structure. My original reaction was to use the wizarding world, but then my professor gave use that stipulation. He used the smurfs in his example.
The only things that I can think of are Fraggle Rock and Lord of the Flies. I shy away from both of those, because I think that Fraggle Rock is pretty similar to the Smurfs and I don't remember much about Lord of the Flies. I'll end up using one of those if I have to, but I was hoping that some other inspiration would strike me.

^Maybe a society like in Brave new World. by Aldous Huxley.
Summary:
The story is set in a London six hundred years in the future. People all around the world are part of a totalitarian state, free from war, hatred, poverty, disease, and pain. They enjoy leisure time, material wealth, and physical pleasures. However, in order to maintain such a smoothly running society, the ten people in charge of the world, the Controllers, eliminate most forms of freedom and twist around many traditionally held human values. Standardization and progress are valued above all else. These Controllers create human beings in factories, using technology to make ninety-six people from the same fertilized egg and to condition them for their future lives. Children are raised together and subjected to mind control through sleep teaching to further condition them. As adults, people are content to fulfill their destinies as part of five social classes, from the intelligent Alphas, who run the factories, to the mentally challenged Epsilons, who do the most menial jobs. All spend their free time indulging in harmless and mindless entertainment and sports activities. When the Savage, a man from the uncontrolled area of the world (an Indian reservation in New Mexico) comes to London, he questions the society and ultimately has to choose between conformity and death.
I messed the question up.. it's...
Explain how to graph Ax + By = C, if C is not equal to zero..
I was in a hurry sorry.

That society is too complex. He doesn't want a society from now for that reason. I need something simple like the Smurfs, but not them. Thanks for the try, though

Now that makes a lot more sense. You might want to check the other problems to make sure that you gave them to us the right way.
hhmm . . . It just wants you to explain the process? Well, first you would set x to 0 and find y.
A(0) + By = C
By = C
Divide both sides by B
y = C/B
Your Y-intrercept would be C/B (0, C/B)
Then you set y at 0 and solve for X.
Ax + By = C
Ax + B(0) = C
Ax = C
x = C/A Your x-intercept would be (C/A, 0)
Then you would plot both points and draw your line to go directly through those points.

It no rocket science maybe it is idk lol , all shes telling you to do is find X and Y, and easiest way to find them to actually put the variables = 0( meaning the intercepts) and then insert those numbers for A, B and, C depending on what point your trying to find. I was having difficulty with that too, but after her posts i understood. lol

x+5 = 0 is a vertical line where x = -5, and y is any real number (because y isn't in the equation)
Ax+Bx = C is really (A+B)x = C where it again is a vertical line where x = C/(A+B). Again y isn't in the equation so it can be any real number.
If you meant Ax^2+Bx= C, it is a parabola where you have to find roots by quadratic formula and if A is positive its a smile, if A is negative its a frown. You also have to work out the height as well. its just the middle of the roots subbed into the equation to give a value.
Again x= -100, would be a vertical line through (-100, 0).
Hope that helps
Edit: Didn't read everything before posting.

i am really confused with triangle congruences(Geometry)
how can i figure out if a triangle's congruence is SAS(side-angle-side), SSS(side-side-side) or ASA(angle-side-angle) congruence, and what statementsand reasons i should look out for when finding a triangle's congruence.
