Question 146533: If anyone could help me out with these graphing questions, I would REALLY appreciate it! I'm completely lost! Thank you so much!
Graph the equation:
a) y= 3x + 2
b) y= -x
c) y= 1/2x + 2
d) y= x+2
e) y= -1/4x - 1
f) y= 3x+3
g) -3y= 6x
h) -5x + 3y -15 = 0
i) 2x + y = 3
j) x-2y+2=0
If you could just show me how to do a few of these (like how to start them out) I think I'd be able to figure it out. I just wanted to give some examples of what I'm doing.

Question 146548: Divide.
Sqrt (50) / Sqrt (-5)
sqrt of 50 divided by sqrt of -5.
I did the sqrt of 50 = 5 sqrt(2)
Sqrt (-5) = -5
Multiplied 5 and 2 to get 10. I came up with the solution of -Sqrt (10). Not sure if it is sqrt (10) or - Sqrt (10).
Hope I did not confuse you with my jibberish. Thanks!
