You can put this solution on YOUR website!
makea table of values for x and then solve the equation for y;
\n" ); document.write( "x|y
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "0|
\n" ); document.write( "1|
\n" ); document.write( "-1|\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "now plug those values in for x in the equation;
\n" ); document.write( "y=3(0)-1
\n" ); document.write( "y=-1
\n" ); document.write( "so when x=0, y=-1
\n" ); document.write( "y=3(1)-1
\n" ); document.write( "y=3-1
\n" ); document.write( "y=2
\n" ); document.write( "so when x=1, y=2
\n" ); document.write( "y=3(-1)-1
\n" ); document.write( "y=-3-1
\n" ); document.write( "y=-4
\n" ); document.write( "so when x=-1, y=-4
\n" ); document.write( "now plot those points on the graph;
\n" ); document.write( "\"graph+%28300%2C300%2C+-5%2C5%2C-5%2C5%2C+3x-1%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Remember you choose the values for x then solve the equation for y.
