Plot three points that solve the equation -x-2y=-10

See the attachment for a plot

Step-by-step explanation:

I find it convenient to plot lines using their x- and y-intercepts, when those are integers. To find the intercepts, we can divide the equation by the constant on the right:

x/10 +y/5 = 1

This is "intercept form". The denominator in each term is the corresponding intercept:

the x-intercept is 10, point (10, 0)

the y-intercept is 5, point (0, 5)

We can choose another value of y to find a third solution. Let y=2. Then we have ...

-x -2(2) = -10 . . . . . put 2 for y in the original equation

-x = -6 . . . . . . . . . . add 4

x = 6 . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by -1

A third point is (6, 2)

step-by-step explanation:

let

we know that

the y-intercept is the y-coordinate of the point when the value of x is equal to zero

so

the y-coordinate of the point a is the y-intercept

the answer part a) is

the value of y-intercept is

part b) find the slope m

we know that

the value of the slope is equal to

substitute the values

therefore

the answer part b) is

the value of the slope is equal to

the general answer is

the slope is

the value of y-intercept is

x = 23.78
