graph the equation 1.50x + 1.25y = 375
put equation into the slope intercept form (y = mx + b)
1.5x + 1.25y = 375
1.25y = -1.5x + 375
y = %28-1.5%29%2F1.25x + 375%2F1.25
y = -1.2x + 300
:
Plot this equation; choose convenient values for x, find y
x | y
-----
25|270
150|120
A straight line thru these two points should look like this

Check our solution by putting the x,y values in original problem
1.50x + 1.25y = 375
x=25, y = 270
1.5(25) + 1.25(270) =
37.5 + 337.5 = 375
