Question

Graph the line of the equation
5x + 3y =-15

Answer 1

Make an xy table bro. Start with x = 0:
x|y
0|-5
-3|0

Answer 2

i suggest putting into y = mx + b form... it's much easier and saves time. But a table will work too.

Answer 3

you could you show me how to use any of those?

Answer 4

Much easier than the table? lol

Answer 5

The table takes two seconds.

Answer 6

sure. so essentially we want to solve for "y". Do you have questions on how to do that?

Answer 7

Using the table, I already have two points, the x-intercept and the y-intercept. Alls anyone has to do after that is plot the points, draw the line and be done with it.

Answer 8

that's not going to work with more difficult equations, especially if you aren't allowed to use a calculator.

Answer 9

It works every time bro. lol Show me one where it doesn't work.

Answer 10

We're talking about linear equations, right?

Answer 11

just pretend i don't know how to do it, teach me from thr ground up i'll learn xD

Answer 12

hell yeah hero LOL it worked!

Answer 13

but how did you know to put -5 and - 3 ? did you change it because the answer equals -15?

Answer 14

I am confused on how he got -5 and -3
