Graphing linear equations is relatively simple if you first rewrite the equation into the slope-intercept formula y=mx%2Bb. For this equation, we can do the following.
-x%2B10y=11
First add x to each side
-x%2Bx%2B10y=11%2Bx=10y=11%2Bx
Second, we can divide both sides by 10 to isolate the y variable.
10y%2F10=11%2F10%2Bx%2F10=y=11%2F10%2Bx%2F10
y=1%2F10x%2B11%2F10
Now we have a y intercept to graph and also the slope to find a second point from the y intercept location.
The y intercept is (0,11/10) and the slope is rise%2Frun or %281%2F10%29 Once the y intercept is graphed, from that point follow up one unit and then to the right 11 units to get your next point. Connect the points with a line. It would be helpful for you to lable your points in case there is any question as to what you intended to show for your answer.
