graph the equation by plotting three points -x+2y=11

Question

anonymous · Answer

can some please help me

anonymous · Answer

Solve for the format 

$$y = mx+b$$

than substitute the x values 1, 2 and 3 into the linear equation.

Solve for y and now you have a point (x, y) now you can plot it on a graph. |dw:1375585529599:dw|

anonymous · Answer

how do i change it to y=mx+b form

anonymous · Answer

first bring the x over to the right side..
-x +x +2y = x + 11

than you get

2y = x + 11

than divide both  sides by 2

2y = x +11
--   ------
2       2

anonymous · Answer

so 1y=2x+11/2

anonymous · Answer

Not quite... If you divide x by two what do you get ?

anonymous · Answer

0.5

anonymous · Answer

good 0.5x

anonymous · Answer

now you have a equation

y = 0.5x + 11/2

can you put different numbers in for x and solve for y.

ex

y = 0.5(0) +11/2

y = 0 + 11/2

y = 11/2

*** Now I have a point (0 , 11/2) which I can plot on a graph.

anonymous · Answer

i cant plot 11/2 it had to be a whole number

anonymous · Answer

Than you can choose a point

ex

y = 0.5(1) + 11/2

y = 0.5+ 5.5

y = 6
*** than plot (1,6)

anonymous · Answer

ok can you please help me find x values and than i will do the y

anonymous · Answer

alright.. can you do

x = 3 and x = -1

anonymous · Answer

3,7 and -1,5

anonymous · Answer

Good can you plot them ?
