It's easier to work with problems such as –2.1x + 3.7 -5 + 4.9x when we rearrange the like terms vertically:
–2.1x + 3.7 -5 + 4.9x
becomes
–2.1x + 3.7
+4.9x -5

2.8x - 1.3 (answer)
Answer:
Plot points at (0,1) and (-3,3) and draw a line going through both points.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's start by graphing the y intercept.
y=mx+b
m is the slope. b is the y intercept. Since the equation is y=-2/3x+1, we can conclude the y intercept is 1. We graph a point at (0,1).
If you didn't know the y intercept is where the line intercepts the y-axis.
Now, from the point (0,1) we go up 2 and to the left 3 as it is a negative slope. We reach (-3,3). Plot a point there. Then draw a line going through both points. There's your line!
