Question

Graph the equation -0.3x - 0.5y = 0.15. Can someone walk me through this?

Answer 1

So first I’m fairly sure you need to get it to y=mx + b. Mx being the x intercept and b being the y intercept. So you have -0.3x-0.5y=0.15. First add -0.3x to both sides. So now you have -0.5y=0.15+0.3x. Then you need to isolate the y. You just divide both sides by -0.5. Which should leave you with y= -0.6x - -0.3. Then you just place dots on those parts of the line. I’m sure they don’t have to be exact but just draw a line using a straight edge and ensure it’s going through both dots.
