Question

Sketch the graph of the line.x + y = -5

Answer 1

The given line is

`x+y=-5`

We need two points to graph a line. Let's find the axis intercepts with x=0 and y=0.

The y-intercept: x=0

`\begin{gathered} 0+y=-5 \\ y=-5 \end{gathered}`

The y-intercept is (0,-5).

The x-intercept: y=0

`\begin{gathered} x+0=-5 \\ x=-5 \end{gathered}`

The x-intercept is (-5,0).

Now, we graph these points and draw a straight line.
