You can put this solution on YOUR website!
15First you need to put the equation in slope-intercept form;
\n" ); document.write( "y=mx+b
\n" ); document.write( "4x+5y=15
\n" ); document.write( "5y=15-4x
\n" ); document.write( "5y=-4x+15
\n" ); document.write( "y=- $\"4%2F5\"$ x+15
\n" ); document.write( "So now y-intercept = 15, and slope is - $\"4%2F5\"$
\n" ); document.write( "So on the graph you will plot the point (0,15), and from there and with the slope of - $\"4%2F5\"$ , you will plot your next point.
\n" ); document.write( "From point (0,15) you will go down 4 units and to the left 5.
\n" ); document.write( "When you have 3 points you connect those with a line.

\n" ); document.write( "Hope you understand
\n" ); document.write( "=) \n" ); document.write( "
