Graph this equation: 3y-9x=30
Then must graph this equation.
:
Put equation into the slope intercept form y = mx + b
:
3y = +9x + 30; added 9x to both sides
1y = (9/3)x + (30/3); divided equation by 3
y = 3x + 10
:
Substitute for x, -4 to +4 and make a table of x/y coordinates to graph
Here is x = -4 as an example:
y = 3(-4) + 10
y = -12 + 10
y = -2
:
x | y
--------
-4 | -2
-3 |
-2 |
0 | 10
+1 |
+2 |+16
+3 |
+4 | 22
I'll let you fill in blanks, find y from the value given of x
:
graph should look like this:
+graph%28+300%2C+200%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+-10%2C+25%2C+3x+%2B+10%29+
