Question

PLEASE HELP!!

Graph the linear equation. Find three points that solve the equation, then plot in the graph. -5x-3y=-7

Answer 1

Explanation:

Convert the equation to the slope-intercept form (y = mx + b):

`-5x-3y=-7` add 5x to both sides

`-3y=5x-7` divide both sides by (-3)

`y=-(5)/(3)x+(7)/(3)`

Choose any three values of x ​​and calculate the values od y:

for x = -1:

`y=-(5)/(3)(-1)+(7)/(3)=(5)/(3)+(7)/(3)=(12)/(3)=4\to(-1,\ 4)`

for x = 2:

`y=-(5)/(3)(2)+(7)/(3)=-(10)/(3)+(7)/(3)=-(3)/(3)=-1\to(2,\ -1)`

for x = 5

`y=-(5)/(3)(5)+(7)/(3)=-(25)/(3)+(7)/(3)=-(18)/(3)=-6\to(5,\ -6)`
