Question 176931: My teacher gave me this take home test and I'm not quite sure how to solve some of the equations on graphing, I've been trying for the past hour and can't seem to figure it out.
Problem:
Graph the equation. Tell which method you used.
2x + y - 11= 0
I dont understand how to graph it or solve it.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
make a table use any value of x or y you want and solve for the unknown
:
such as if x=0....2(0)+y-11=0--->y=11
........if x=1....2(1)+y-11=0--->y=9
:
keep doing that for as many points as you want then plot those points and draw a line thru them. It should look like this when your done
