Question

Draw the graph of the equation x+y=5

Answer 1

well first you have to get x and y on separate sides so subtract x by both sides to put x on the right side.

now you have y = 5 - x

to graph that let's throw in some numbers for x and y and make a function table

x, y

1, 4

2, 3

3, 2

4, 1

5, 0

6, -1

and so forth

as you can see as x increases in value, y decreases in value

all you have to do now is plot those points on a graph
