Question

Graph the line y = 2x - 5​

Answer 1

The Explanation is below with attachment.

Explanation:

For the line y = 2x - 5

For Drawing a line on a graph we require minimum two points, but we will plot three points.

Here you can take any random value for X so that the corresponding Y value you will get.

So, put x = 0, in the equation we will get

`y = 2(0) - 5\\\therefore y = -5\\\therefore Let\ A(0,-5)`

Similarly,

Put x = 1 we will get,

`y= 2(1)-5\\\therefore y =-3\\\therefore Let\ B(1,-3)`

Again,

Put x = -1 we will get,

`y= 2(-1)-5\\\therefore y =-7\\\therefore Let\ C(-1,-7)`

Now we have three points say point A (0,-5)), point B (1.-3) and point C (-1,-7)
