7y= x+7

Step 1. Pick a value for x. It can be anything you like, but 0, 1, or some other small integer usually works well and makes the arithmetic easier. Hint: For this one, I would pick 0.

Step 2. Substitute that value in place of x in your equation. Do the arithmetic and determine the value of y that results.

Step 3. Take the value of x that you selected for step 1 and the value of y that you calculated in step 2 and form an ordered pair (x,y).

Step 4. Plot the ordered pair from Step 3 on your graph. Remember that the x value is the distance right or left along the horizontal axis and the y value is the distance up or down along the vertical axis.

Step 5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 with a different value for x. Hint: For this problem, I would pick 7 as my second x value.

Step 6. Draw a line across your graph that passes through the two points that you plotted.
