Question

Graph the line described by y – 3 = -5/6(x + 3).

Answer 1

Answer:

The graph will show what the line is.

Step-by-step explanation:

y-3 = -5/6(x+3)

Distribute first:

y-3= -5/6x - 15/6

-15/6 is negative because when disributing, -5/6, the negative sign will follow it.

Single out the y:

this means to make the y alone! by doing this, just add 3 to the other side

y-3= -5/6x - 15/6

+3             +3

______________

y= -5/6x + 3/6

Simplify:

y= -5/6 +1/2

-> 3/6 can be simplified to 1/2

Find the Y-intercept on the graph

1/2 on the graph is between 0 and 1

Graph the slope:

from the Y-intercept, go down 5 units, and to the right 6 units.

Then you have your graph!
