Question

Graph the equation.
3x+5y=11

Answer 1

First you need to get it into 'y=mx+b' form so solve for y

Answer 2

What did you get?

Answer 3

Yeah, but what did you get?

Answer 4

0

Answer 5

3x+5y=11
subtract 3x
5y=-3x+11
Now divide by 5
what did you get?

Answer 6

y=3/5 + 11/5

Answer 7

Right, but you left out the x

so, y = 3/5x + 11/5

Answer 8

Now that it is in y=mx + b form, m being the slope and b being the y intercept you can graph it

Answer 9

do you know how to graph this?

Answer 10

no

Answer 11

Well 11/5 is a little more than 2, so the y intercept is going to be a little more than 2. The slope is -3/5

Slope - rise/run - Since it's -3 it's going to go down 3, and right 5

Answer 12

It's going to look roughly something like that
