I need 3 points (0,0) for -x+2y=11 .im really confused please help.

zepdrix (zepdrix):

\(\large\rm -\color{royalblue}{x}+2\color{orangered}{y}=11\) Hmm (0,0) is not going to work.

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Let's pick a number for the orange letter, should make things easier.\[\large\rm (\color{royalblue}{x},\color{orangered}{y})\]So if we pick, say 6, for our orange,\[\large\rm -\color{royalblue}{x}+2\color{orangered}{(6)}=11\]What blue value will give us 11 in as a result?\[\large\rm -\color{royalblue}{x}+12=11\]

zepdrix (zepdrix):

How much do you have to subtract from 12 in order to get 11?

OpenStudy (mckenna2000):

1?

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Ok great, so that gives us one point that satisfies this equation,\[\large\rm (\color{royalblue}{1},\color{orangered}{6})\]

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Maybe try a different y value for your next point,\[\large\rm (\color{royalblue}{?},\color{orangered}{7})\]

zepdrix (zepdrix):

\[\large\rm -\color{royalblue}{x}+2\color{orangered}{(7)}=11\]

zepdrix (zepdrix):

\[\large\rm -x+14=11\]So now you want to get from 14 to 11.
