I need to solve for both x and y so that I can graph them.
y+5 = -2(x-4)
y+5 = -2x + 8; a minus * a minus is a plus
y = -2x + 8 - 5
y = -2x + 3, is the equation we can graph
:
Choose at least two values for x and and solve for y,
we will use x=-2 and x=+3
x | y
-------
-2 |+7
+3 |-3
:
Plot these two coordinates, the graph should look like this
