This one is a little more difficult for me, how would I graph the equation and identify the y-intercept of
y + x = -5?
----------------
1st: Solve for "y":
y = -x-5
2nd: Plot two points:
If x = 0, y = -5 gives point (0,-5)
If x = 2, y = -7 gives point (2,-7)
----
3rd: Plot those 2 points and
draw a line thru them.
that is the graph you want.
