Answer:

The two points for the line y = -5x are

point A( x₁ , y₁) ≡ ( 1 ,-5) (blue color in below graph)

point B( x₂ , y₂) ≡ (-1 , 5) (green color in below graph )

Explanation:

Given:

y = -5x ........... equation of a line

Let the points be point A, and point B

To Find:

point A( x₁ , y₁) ≡ ?

point B( x₂ , y₂) ≡ ?

Solution:

For Drawing a graph we require minimum two points but we will have here three points.

For point A( x₁ , y₁)

Put x = 1 in the given equation we get

y = -5×1

y = -5

∴ y = -5

∴ point A( x₁ , y₁) ≡ ( 1 ,-5)

For point B( x₂ , y₂)

Put y= -1 in the given equation we get

y = -5×-1

y = 5

∴ y = 5

∴ point B( x₂ , y₂) ≡ (-1 , 5)

Therefore,

The two points for the line y = -5x are

point A( x₁ , y₁) ≡ ( 1 ,-5) (blue color in below graph)

point B( x₂ , y₂) ≡ (-1 , 5) (green color in below graph)
