how do you graph 4x-5y=12

Question

dumbcow · Answer

plug in x=0 to get y_intercept
y = -12/5

plug in y=0 to get x_intercept
x = 3

dumbcow ... yOu are right ... also 
we have equation of first degree with two variables .. first degree means that the drawing is a straight line , two variables means the drawing  area in two axis for example x and y .
second degree is meaning curve .
so from this idea .. my friend Dumbcow ... took two points and you are need just to put your ruler and do it !

Isolate your Y term to to the left by subtracting your X term from both sides.$$-5y=4x+12$$  Now, divide both sides coefficient of your Y term (-5 in this case).$$y=4/5*x-12/5$$ Since your Y-intercept (-12/5) is part of the equation, it is good to use as one of your points.  $$(0,-12/5)$$  If you substitute zero in for Y, you'll get  $$x=3$$  That gives you another good ordered pair or point to use.$$(3,0)$$ Please let me know whether or not you can view the attached picture file I've attached to show how to graph this equation.  Thanks.
