First convert the equation -x+y=-5 into slope intercept form. Graph the line by plotting the y-intercept first, then another poi
1 answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
-x + y = -5
Transform to slope-intercept form, y = mx + b:
-x + x + y = x - 5
y = x - 5 (Slope-intercept form where m = 1, b = -5).
Plot the y-intercept (0, -5) on the graph. Using the "rise over run" of the slope, <em>m</em> = 1, the next point will be: (1, -4).
I also plotted other points (please see the attached screenshot of the graph).

-2x - 13 = -3x - 5
Step 1: Combine like terms
x's go with x's (-2x and -3x). To do this add 2x to both sides
(-2x + 2x) - 13 = (-3x + 2x) - 5
(0) - 13 = (-x) - 5
- 13 = -x - 5
normal numbers go with normal numbers ( -13 and -5). To do this add 5 to both sides
(- 13 + 5) = -x + (- 5 + 5)
-8 = -x + (0)
-8 = -x
Step 2: Isolate x by dividing -1 to both sides (this will take the negative sign away from the x)
8 = x
x= 8
