Question

Graph the linear equation.find three points that solve the equation,then plot on the graph -3x++2y=11

Answer 1

$-3x+2y=11\qquad\text{add 3x to both sides}\\\\2y=3x+11\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\\y=\dfrac{3}{2}x+\dfrac{11}{2}\\\\for\ x=1\to y=\dfrac{3}{2}(1)+\dfrac{11}{2}=\dfrac{3}{2}+\dfrac{11}{2}=\dfrac{14}{2}=7\to(1,\ 7)\\\\for\ x=-3\to y=\dfrac{3}{2}(-3)+\dfrac{11}{2}=-\dfrac{9}{2}+\dfrac{11}{2}=\dfrac{2}{2}=1\to(-3,\ 1)\\\\for\ x=-5\to y=\dfrac{3}{2}(-5)+\dfrac{11}{2}=-\dfrac{15}{2}+\dfrac{11}{2}=-\dfrac{4}{2}=-2\to(-5,\ -2)$
