Question 26370: how would you graph 4x+ 5y = 15

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
15First you need to put the equation in slope-intercept form;
y=mx+b
4x+5y=15
5y=15-4x
5y=-4x+15
y=-4%2F5x+15
So now y-intercept = 15, and slope is -4%2F5
So on the graph you will plot the point (0,15), and from there and with the slope of -4%2F5, you will plot your next point.
From point (0,15) you will go down 4 units and to the left 5.
When you have 3 points you connect those with a line.
