Draw a straight line through the point on the y-axis where y=330
and give the line a slope of -7.
(For every unit it moves to the right, it drops 7 units.)
But a much better way to draw the graph ... which you should know even if you
don't recognize the slope-intercept form of the equation ... is like this:
-- Pick some number for 'x', plug it into the equation, and figure out what 'y' is.
-- Pick another number for 'x', plug it into the equation, and figure out what 'y' is.
-- Now you have two points on the line. Mark them on your graph, and draw the line
through the two points.
y=-10x-4
-46 = 3x + 7x
7x + y = 8 Subtract 7x from each side of the equation: y = -7x + 8
It's the equation of a straight-line graph. Every point on the line is a solution of the equation. There are an infinite number of them.
13x
x=6
It is 9x
-7x + 5 = -9 -7x = -14 7x = 14 x = 2
7x + y = 4y = 4 - 7x
7x is still the slope, no matter what x equals.
7x+7=28x 28x-7x=7 21x=7 x=3
