Question 255071: how to find the x and y coordinates of y=(-3/4)x+5...then graph
Answer by richwmiller(17219)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! It is as easy as plug in any number for x and solve for y.
The two easiest to calculate are usually
when x=0 solve for y
and when y=0 solve for x
Or
In the equation 5 is the y intercept when x=0 y=5
Plot that point
The slope is -3/4 which means
Either for every 3 that y goes down x goes across 4
OR for every 3 that y goes up x goes back 4
It doesn't matter they are the same
So once you plot the y intercep (0,5) you can do the above
After you have two points connect the two points to form a line.
