Question

Graph y=2x + 5 I need help graphing this problem

Answer 1

Given the equation:

`y=2x+5`

Let's graph the equation.

To graph the equation, let's use three random points.

Find values of y using random values of x.

We have the following:

• When x = -1:

Substitute -1 for x and solve for y

`\begin{gathered} y=2(-1)+5 \\ y=-2+5 \\ y=3 \\ \\ When\text{ x=-1, y=3} \end{gathered}`

• When x = 0:

`\begin{gathered} y=2(0)+5 \\ y=0+5 \\ y=5 \\ \\ \text{ When x=0, y = 5} \end{gathered}`

• When x = 1:

`\begin{gathered} y=2(1)+5 \\ y=2+5 \\ y=7 \\ \\ \text{ When x=1, y = 7} \end{gathered}`

Therefore, we have the points:

(x, y) ==> (-1, 3), (0, 5), (1, 7)

To graph the equation, plot the points on a graph and connect the points using a straight line.

We have the graph below:
