You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You could sit and pick an x, then find the y and plot it but the
\n" ); document.write( "fastest way to graph with this form is to find your x and y interepts.
\n" ); document.write( "The x intercept occurs when y=0.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3x-y=-10\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3x-0=-10\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3x=-10\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=-10%2F3\"$
\n" ); document.write( "First point is (-10/3,0).
\n" ); document.write( "The y intercept occurs when x=0.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3x-y=-10\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3%280%29-y=-10\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-y=-10\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=10\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Second point is (0,10).
\n" ); document.write( "Graph those 2 points. You only need two points to define a line.
\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "Then draw the line that goes through those two points. \r
