Question

-x-y=1

Answer 1

im going graphing

Answer 2

when you convert it into slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), graphing should be easy

Answer 3

i dont understand it at all im bad at math

Answer 4

you wanna take your original equation, -x - y = 1, and get y by itself on the left hand side. do you know how to do that?

Answer 5

well you gotta do they whole x and y table .. but to your ? no i don't lol im dumb

Answer 6

i don't think you need to do an x/y table. you're graphing it on a coordinate plane, right?

Answer 7

i think so idk... but either way i don't know what im doing

Answer 8

lol ok. so what i was saying earlier...-x - y = 1, to get y by itself, first add x to both sides since + is the opposite of -

so -y = x + 1

and we don't want y to be negative, so to fix that, we're going to multiply the whole equation by -1

so y = -x - 1

Answer 9

then what do i do

Answer 10

so the y-intercept is -1. that's gonna be our first point on the graph, (0,-1)
the slope is -1. so that means, from our first point (0,-1), we'll go down 1 and over to the right 1. that'll give us our second point (1, -2).
and because we have two points, we can put our line between them

Answer 11

did that make sense?

Answer 12

but i need three points, and how did you get the points

Answer 13

why do you need three points?

Answer 14

idk thats just what it is

Answer 15

ok so then just use your equation y = -x - 1, substitute 0, 1, and 2 for x and solve for y to get your three points

Answer 16

i have to go

Answer 17

sorry i can't help more

Answer 18

but wait i don't know how

Answer 19

i'll do 0 for you
y = -x - 1
y = -0 - 1
y = -1
which gives us a point of (0,-1)

Answer 20

but how do you solve to get (0,-1)
