Question 226954
What is the graph of -2x+y=7.


Step 1.  It takes two points to graph a line.


Step 2.  Let x=0, then y=2*0+7=7.  So we have (0,7) is one point.


Step 3.  Let x=1, then -2*1+y=7 or y=9.  So we have (1, 9) as another point.


Step 4.  Use the two points (0,7) and (1,9) to graph the line.


{{{graph(600, 600, -10,10, -5,15, 2x+7)}}}


I hope the above steps were helpful.
