You can put this solution on YOUR website! I am working on graphing in pre-algebra. Would you please solve the following, showing each step so that I see and understand how to solve this.
Graph by plotting points
7x + 35 = 0
--------------
x+5 = 0
x = -5
Since there's no y term, this is a vertical line (parallel to the y-axis) thru the point (-5,0).
To plot linear equations, you need only 2 points. Then you draw the straight line thru the 2 points.
For this one, you can pick 2 points, such as (-5,0) and (-5,5) and draw the line.
