Algebra.Com's Answer #435907 by jim_thompson5910(35256)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! When x = -5, y = (2/5)(-5) = -10/5 = -2\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So one point is (-5, -2)\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "When x = 0, y = (2/5)(0) = 0\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Another point is (0, 0)\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "When x = 5, y = (2/5)(5) = 10/5 = 2\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The third point is (5, 2)\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the three points are: (-5, -2), (0,0) and (5, 2)\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Plot these three points and draw a straight line through them to graph \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Note: you can get away with using just two points to graph this line \n" ); document.write( " |
