Question

How would I graph the following line:

2x+3y= -3

Answer 1

find any 2 points on the line

Answer 2

if you write it as slope-intercept for it would be easier to graph. So:
3y= -2x -3 -> y= -2/3x -1 Then you would have the -1 as the y intercept and your slope would be -2/3. Hope I helped. :)

Answer 3

Why not work out where the line crosses the axes? Ie find the intercepts.

Answer 4

When x= 0, y = -1

Answer 5

but graphing these answeres only gives me one point though...

Answer 6

one point? it should give you a line.

Answer 7

Hmm, maybe I am doing something wrong. Let me try again..

Answer 8

Now put y=0 and x = -1.5. Two points.

Answer 9

it gives me a horizontal line. Would that be correct?

Answer 10

hmm, it should give you a negative sloped line.

Answer 11

That's what i initially thought, but when I imput it, that's what it gives me :(

Answer 12

hm, why don't you start at (0,-1) and then go down 3 and go right 2 and put a point, and keep going like that.

Answer 13

Let me try that and I'll let you know :)

Answer 14

sure :D

Answer 15

Like this? lol

Answer 16

uh, it's kinda wrong because the y-intercept is not exactly on (0,-1)

Answer 17

if you would push it up it would be ok

Answer 18

Okay let me try again.. :)

Answer 19

Better?

Answer 20

uh well, the y intercept is ok now but the slope is wrong. it should be 2 down and 3 right.

Answer 21

I think I FINALLY got it right :D Check it one last time please? :)

Answer 22

yes!!

Answer 23

YAY :D Finally! Thanks so much for your help! It's oh so appreciated :)
