Question 1057222
I have tried going through the TI-84 plus manual that came with my calculator, so that I can graph this linear equation: 3x+4y=-16. I have not been able to graph linear equations. Can someone please tell me how to enter this equation properly into my calculator? I have solved the problem manually. 

Thank you 
<pre>3x + 4y = - 16
4y = - 3x - 16
{{{y = (- 3/4)x - 16/4}}} ------- Solving for y
{{{y = (- 3/4)x - 4}}}
Press: "y =", located at the UPPER left side of the calculator
To the right of {{{y[1]}}}, enter: {{{(matrix(1,3, negative, "(-)", (3/4)x - 4))}}}
Press: Graph
If the graph doesn't appear, you may have to go into "WINDOW" and tinker with the coordinates' min, max, and scale values.
Note that the graph should have a NEGATIVE slope, UNLIKE the INACCURATE graph one person came up with.
