I have tried going through the TI-84 plus manual that came with my calculator, so that I can graph this linear equation: 3x+4y=-16. I have not been able to graph linear equations. Can someone please tell me how to enter this equation properly into my calculator? I have solved the problem manually. \r

\n" ); document.write( "
3x + 4y = - 16
\n" ); document.write( "4y = - 3x - 16
\n" ); document.write( "\"y+=+%28-+3%2F4%29x+-+16%2F4\" ------- Solving for y
\n" ); document.write( "\"y+=+%28-+3%2F4%29x+-+4\"
\n" ); document.write( "Press: \"y =\", located at the UPPER left side of the calculator
\n" ); document.write( "To the right of \"y%5B1%5D\", enter: \"%28matrix%281%2C3%2C+negative%2C+%22%28-%29%22%2C+%283%2F4%29x+-+4%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Press: Graph
\n" ); document.write( "If the graph doesn't appear, you may have to go into \"WINDOW\" and tinker with the coordinates' min, max, and scale values.
\n" ); document.write( "Note that the graph should have a NEGATIVE slope, UNLIKE the INACCURATE graph one person came up with. \n" ); document.write( "
