How do you graph the equation by plotting points #-x + 3y = -9#?

Answer 1

Savannah Anderson

Refer the explanation section

Given -

#-x+3y=-9#

It is in the form >
#ax+by=c#

Then -

Y- intercept is #y=c/b=(-9)/3=-3#

One of the points is #(0, -3)#

X-Intercept is #x=c/a=(-9)/(-1)=9#

Another point is #(9, 0)#

Plot these two points and join them with the help of a straight line.

To graph the equation -x + 3y = -9, you can plot points by choosing values for x or y, then solving for the other variable. Once you have a few points, plot them on a coordinate plane and connect them with a straight line.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
