Whatever way you choose, avoid making any lengthy data table of x y values. You could look for the axis intercepts for each equation and use them to graph the two lines.


You could also try to make use of the standard form in which the equations are written.
Ax%2BBy=C
By=-Ax%2BC
y=-Ax%2FB%2BC%2FB----------slope-intercept form, in which you see the vertical axis intercept is C%2FB, and slope of the line is -A%2FB.
You can identify your slopes and vertical axis intercepts from your two standard form equations and use the data to make the graphs.
You do that!
