Question

In your own words, describe how to graph the linear equation y = -1/5x + 3. Step by step

Answer 1

Answer:

Steps given below and graph is attached.

Step-by-step explanation:

First Step:

Find out $y-intercept$ by substituting $x=0$

$y=-\frac{1}{5}\times 0+3\\\\y=3\\\\Hence\ line\ passes\ through\ (0,3).$

Second Step:

Find out $x-intercept$ by substituting $y=0.$

$0=-\frac{1}{5}x+3\\\\\frac{1}{5}x=3\\\\x=15\\\\Hence\ line\ passes\ through\ (15,0).$

Third Step:

Draw a line passing through $(0,3)\ and\ (15,0)$.
