Question

Please solve the equation, then plot and graph it. -x -2y = -10

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert the equation to the slope-intercept form (y = mx + b):

$-x-2y=-10$             add x to both sides

$-2y=x-10$          divide both sides by (-2)

$y=-\dfrac{1}{2}x+5$

Choose any three values of x ​​and calculate the values od y:

for x = 0

$y=-\dfrac{1}{2}(0)+5=0+5=5\to(0,\ 5)$

for x = 4

$y=-\dfrac{1}{2}(4)+5=-2+5=3\to(4,\ 3)$

for x = 10

$y=-\dfrac{1}{2}(10)+5=-5+5=0\to(10,\ 0)$
