Question

How do you graph 3x+5y=10?

Answer 1

express y in terms of x

Answer 2

Write this equation in y = mx + b form:

3x + 5y = 10
5y = 3x - 10
y = (3/5)x - 2

Now, the slope of this equation is (3/4) and the y intercept is b = -2.

Slope = rise/run

Therefore, plot the y intercept at (0, -2). And now move three units up (rise) and then 5 units to the right (run). And plot that point. Then continue on the same way until you have sufficient points to create a straight line.
