Question 957304: I'm having trouble understanding the graphing...
Find three integer or decimal solutions to the following equation, then graph the solution set.
4x-5y=20
When I submitted my answers I wasn't even close to the answers that were being requested! It was requesting (104, 105), (101, 96), (200, 300)?? Help Please! Thanks!

What points did you find?
None of those 3 are solutions.

to do so, you need to choose three values for  and calculate  to find points that lie on this line, plot points and draw a line through
 ....first solve for
now we can choose ANY number for : I would like  , ,and 
if 
so, first point is (, ) which is y-intercept
if 
second point is (,) which is x-intercept
if 
second point is (, )
now we can plot points:
then draw a line:
if requesting ( ,  ), ( ,  ), ( ,  ) then I can check if these points lie on given line
if 
 ....so, (, ) is  solution for given equation
check it ones again with
check second point (, )
and third point (, )
so, these points do NOT lie on a line
see it on a graph:
