Question 220722: solve linear equation of two variables.plot three points to draw graph.5x-2y=6
Answer by babydoll77stl(4) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
5x-2y=6
subtrace 5x from both sides
-2y=-5x+6
divide -2 by both sides to get y by itself
y= -5/-2x+6/-2
y= 5/2x-3
-3 is your starting point on the y axis
5/2 is your rise over run
start at -3 on the y-axis, then rise 5 points and then go to the right 2 points since the number is now negative. You can do this same step more than once so you have more than 2 points on the graph to draw your line.
It's easier to have at least 3 points on the graph
