Do you want to graph this?


If so, then in order to graph y%2Bx=7, we MUST solve for "y" first.


y%2Bx=7 Start with the given equation.


y=7-x Subtract x from both sides.


y=-x%2B7 Rearrange the terms.



Looking at y=-x%2B7 we can see that the equation is in slope-intercept form y=mx%2Bb where the slope is m=-1 and the y-intercept is b=7


Since b=7 this tells us that the y-intercept is .Remember the y-intercept is the point where the graph intersects with the y-axis

So we have one point




Now since the slope is comprised of the "rise" over the "run" this means
slope=rise%2Frun

Also, because the slope is -1, this means:

rise%2Frun=-1%2F1


which shows us that the rise is -1 and the run is 1. This means that to go from point to point, we can go down 1 and over 1



So starting at , go down 1 unit


and to the right 1 unit to get to the next point



Now draw a line through these points to graph y=-x%2B7

So this is the graph of y=-x%2B7 through the points and

If there are 2 variables in the equation, you need 2 equations. What is the other equation?
