can someone explain to me how to graph linear equations when the equation is -x + 2y = 11

Answer 1

@phi

Answer 2

-x + 2y = 11

Answer 3

?

Answer 4

There are many ways to graph an equation.
When given in the above form, you can graph by plotting the x- y-intercepts.
x+2y=11
The x-intercept is when y=0, so x+2(0)=11=>x=11, x-intercept is (11,0).
The y-intercept is when x=0, so (0)=2y=11 means y=11/2, so y-intercept is (0,5.5).
now plot the graph:


You can also convert the equation to slope-intercept form and then calculate the slope, and intercept before plotting, but more work (therefore more chances of error) in this case.

Answer 5

it said it was wrong :(

@chronic.haley
Are you referring to the graph drawn above?

Answer 7

no i did the problem exactly how they wanted it done and they said it was wrong lol
