5x-4y=12
subtract 5x
-4y=-5x+12
divide -4 to isolate y
y=5/4x-3

graph: start off on -3. then go up 5 and right 4. connect the dots

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We have to solve the equation for y and then plot it

The equation is:

5x – 4y = 12

subtracting both sides by 5x, we get

- 4y = 12 - 5x

dividing both sides by - 4 , we get

y = - 3 +
(5)/(4)x

Now, we have to graph it

When x =0 y = -3

The graph is as follows:

Solve the equation for y. Then graph the equation. 5x – 4y = 12-example-1
