Question

-x-y=1
find three points to solve the equation, then plot them on a graph

Answer 1

if i am understanding this right this is really simple

Answer 2

all you have to do is plug in x and y values that make the equation true

Answer 3

okaii so can u give meh some help to break it down

Answer 4

okay, what 2 numbers can you replace the x and the y with to equal 1

Answer 5

1 and 2

Answer 6

probably easier just to pick an \(x\) and find the \(y\)
i pick \(x=3\) then \(-3-y=1\) so \(-y=4\) making \(y=-4\)
now i have the point \((3,-4)\)

Answer 7

or you could make it even easier by taking
\[-x-y=1 \] and solve for \(y\)
you get
\[-y=x+1\] so
\[y=-x-1\] now when you pick an \(x\) you already have \(y\) solved for
i pick \(x=7\) so \(y=-7-1=-8\) giving me the point \((7,-8)\)
