@563blackghost

dude:

Okay so first you want to get the points, do you know how to do that?

bill533:

(-3, 4) (6, 6) (6, 9)

dude:

Almost, not quite kZMpMM87SemmXtGPUqeUtA.png

bill533:

(3, 9) (6, 6)

dude:

Right, now divide them by 3

bill533:

(3, 9) = 1 (6, 6) = 2

dude:

They're points, so you also need to divide 9 and the other 6

bill533:

(3, 9) = (1, 3 (6, 6) = (2, 1.5)

bill533:

is that right ? @dude

dude:

Almost (1,3) (2,2)

bill533:

ok how about this for now i do the solving and you can do the connecting, is that ok ?

dude:

Okay

dude:

These points are already solved, just need to plot them

dude:

Oh solve the last point (-3,3) Divide by 3 on both numbers

bill533:

(-1, 1)

bill533:

now you can plot them like you did before

dude:
