Question

Graph the given equation.
y = 5x − 5

Answer 1

Put various values of x like -1, -2, 0, 1, 5 and find corresponding values of y from the given equation

Plot the point and get the graph

Answer 2

just plot a couple of point and write the line

Answer 3

its a linear function
in the book there is an example but i cant seem to follow it

Answer 4

Of course it is a linear function

Answer 5

You are trying to find point (X,Y)
so for example if X = 0 (0,Y) what does Y=?

Answer 6

Suppose you put x= 1 in the given eqn, you get
y= 5(1) -5 = 5-5 = 0
So you get a point (1,0)

Answer 7

then find many points and connect the dots :)

Answer 8

\[y=5x-5\]

Answer 9

ooh ok so i need to get many point and do a line right? [could you see the attached example?]

Answer 10

the image file gives you the nature of the plot...

Answer 11

Yes 3-4 point r more than enough
then plot them and you will get the required graph

Answer 12

oh great thnx! but i have one more question
it the same kind of problem
y-1/2x=-4
do i replace the x for different numbers and plug that in?

Answer 13

or am i mistaken?

Answer 14

Yes you can convert it to y = -4 + 1/2x
Then put values for x and get values of y

Answer 15

ok thnx alot!

Answer 16

Medal for me ?? (:-)))

Answer 17

how do i give one?

Answer 18

Look on the right, You will see "Give Medal" icon in front of my name
Just click on it

Answer 19

where?

Answer 20

Strange, I can see that icon against your name at my end!!!

By the way, how did you capture and send this screenshot?? Then I can send mine to show you

Answer 21

For a linear equation you really only need two points to graph it.

Answer 22

I am on a mac so i click command+shift+4 and select the section i want to give the screen shot. on pc i could click tue button at the top right that says PrintQ or something like that and crop it in pait.exe then send it

Answer 23
