Question 36695: How do you solve Y=3x-1 then place it on a coordinate grid

makea table of values for x and then solve the equation for y;
x|y
---
0|
1|
-1|
now plug those values in for x in the equation;
y=3(0)-1
y=-1
so when x=0, y=-1
y=3(1)-1
y=3-1
y=2
so when x=1, y=2
y=3(-1)-1
y=-3-1
y=-4
so when x=-1, y=-4
now plot those points on the graph;

Remember you choose the values for x then solve the equation for y.
hope this helps
=)
