You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I need to solve for both x and y so that I can graph them.
\n" ); document.write( "y+5 = -2(x-4)
\n" ); document.write( "y+5 = -2x + 8; a minus * a minus is a plus
\n" ); document.write( "y = -2x + 8 - 5
\n" ); document.write( "y = -2x + 3, is the equation we can graph
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Choose at least two values for x and and solve for y,
\n" ); document.write( "we will use x=-2 and x=+3
\n" ); document.write( " x | y
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "-2 |+7
\n" ); document.write( "+3 |-3
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Plot these two coordinates, the graph should look like this
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+graph%28+300%2C+200%2C+-5%2C+5%2C+-5%2C+8%2C+-2x%2B3%29+\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
