Question

graph the linear equation. Find three points that solve the equation, the plot them on the graph. -2y= 5x +11

Answer 1

Three points are (0,-5.5), (-1,-3), (-2.2,0) and graph is shown below.

Explanation:

The given equation is

`-2y=5x+11`

We need to find three points that solve the equation.

Put x=0,

`-2y=5(0)+11`

`-2y=11`

`y=-5.5`

Put x=-1,

`-2y=5(-1)+11`

`-2y=6`

`y=-3`

Put y=0,

`-2(0)=5x+11`

`5x=-11`

`x=-2.2`

So, three points (0,-5.5), (-1,-3) and (-2.2,0) are the solutions of the given equation.

Plot these points on a coordinate plane and connect them by a straight line as shown below.
