Answer:

In the attachment.

Explanation:

Convert the given equation to the form y = mx + b:


-x+2y=11 add x to both sides


2y=x+11 divide both sides by 2


y=(1)/(2)x+(11)/(2)

It's a linear function.

We need only two points to plot the graph. Select any two x values, insert into the equation and calculate y values.

for x = 1


y=(1)/(2)(1)+(11)/(2)=(1)/(2)+(11)/(2)=(12)/(2)=6\to(1,\ 6)

for x = -5


y=(1)/(2)(-5)+(11)/(2)=-(5)/(2)+(11)/(2)=(6)/(2)=3\to(-5,\ 3)
