If you know how to do one, you know how to do them all.

Step 1: Pick a value for x. It doesn't matter what it is, so make it something that makes the arithmetic easy, like 0 or 1.

Step 2: Substitute that value into your equation and then calculate what y must be for that value of x.

3x-y=9

If you picked 0 for x, then:
3%280%29-y=9
-y=9
y=-9
So when x is 0, y is -9.
Now, repeat steps 1 and 2 using a different value for x. Let's do it with x = 1.
3%281%29-y=9
-y=9-3
-y=6
y=-6

So, when x is 1, y is -6.

Now, take these pairs of numbers that you developed and put them into ordered pair form: (0,-9) and (1,-6).

Plot these two points on your graph. Then draw a line through the points and you are done.




Follow this same procedure for the other problems.
