Algebra.Com's Answer #480909 by edjones(8007)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! These are linear equations, straight lines. \n" ); document.write( "Use graph paper or the equivalent. \n" ); document.write( "y=(-4x + 3)/5 \n" ); document.write( "When x=0 y=3/5 Make a dot at this point on the graph paper. \n" ); document.write( "When x=10 y= -37/5 = -7 2/5 Make another dot at this point. \n" ); document.write( "Connect the 2 dots. \n" ); document.write( "I know the dots are not on any of the lines but between them and you can't be exact. It should be close enough. \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "Ed \n" ); document.write( " |
