Question 6

y = -(5/2)x

We need points in the form (x,y).

Select different x-values to solve for y. This will create points to plot.

Let x = -2, -1, 0, 1, 2

Note: These are just random numbers I selected.

I will do two only.

Let x = -2

y = -(5/2)(-2)

y = -(5/2)(-2/1)

y = (10/2)

y = 5

Our first point to plot is (-2,5).

Let x = -1

y = -(5/2)(-1)

y = 5/2

Our next point to plot is (-1, 5/2).

Continue by letting x = 0, 1, and 2.

This will give you three more points to plot.

After plotting all points on the xy-plane, connect each point with a straight line.

Note: This line crosses the origin starting in quandrant 2 into quadrant 4..
