Question

How would I graph x + y = 11 if my graph only goes 10 over and -10 down?

Answer 1

Extend your graph..?

Answer 2

Wouldn't you do y = -x + 11
Slope equals -1
and just graph a diagonal line down from the top?

Answer 3

I can't, unfortunately.

Answer 4

Hit girl, that sounds right but can you clarify a bit more? Do you know what the ordered pair would be fore this equation?

Answer 6

Wouldn't you do y = -x + 11 Slope equals -1 and just graph a diagonal line down from the top?

U answered your own question...:-)

Answer 7

thanks estudier. I have that link and tried it. They show a graph that goes well beyond 10 and -10. It has the line graphed at 11 up and 11 over which I can't do on the graph provided.

Answer 8

You haven't tried my link, then because I restricted it to -10, 10 on both axes.

Answer 9

oh sorry...

Answer 10

You're saying it goes 10 to the right of the y-axis, and 10 below the x-axis?

Answer 11

Haha yeah... I did. I'm new to this anyway. Hope it helped somewhat =P

Answer 12

Yes oncoming...I tried to slope it as 10 up and 10 over and it said that was not the right answer. The graph only goes to 10.

Answer 13

Have u looked at the link now?

Answer 14

Are you looking for any ordered pair? You can just make an x/y table and set some values for x to see what y is

Answer 15

Yes, and it looks as though it is sloped at 10 up and 10 over. I tried that and it said it wasn't the right answer. Maybe I am not reading the graph right on the link you provided.

Answer 16

If this x + y = 11 is the equation then the link I gave u shows the correct graph.

Answer 17

Okay, I think I just figured out what I did wrong. thanks.
