How do you graph #y=-2x+5# using a table of values?

Answer 1

Kennedy Adams

u just need to pick random numbers and subtitute it into the equation.

example;
when x=3,

y= -2(3)+5
y= 11

To graph the equation y = -2x + 5 using a table of values:

Choose several values for x. Substitute each value of x into the equation to find the corresponding value of y. Create a table with columns for x and y, and fill in the values obtained. Plot the points (x, y) from the table on a coordinate plane. Connect the points with a straight line to graph the equation.

Example table of values:

x	y = -2x + 5
0	5
1	3
2	1
-1	7
-2	9

Plotting these points on a graph and connecting them with a straight line will yield the graph of y = -2x + 5.

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.
