.
5x+4y=-12
.
Convert to slope-intercept form:
4y=-5x-12
y=(-5/4)x-3
The slope is -5/4, the line intercepts y axis at -3 (point (0,-3))
.
Find x-intercept, set y=0
0=(-5/4)x-3
3=(-5/4)x
-12/5=x
The line intercepts the x axis at -2.4 (point (2.4,0)
.
Mark the intercepts ((0,-3) and (-2.4,0) and draw a line through both points:
.
