Graph:
3 x - y = 5
The standard form of a linear equation is as follows: A x + B y = C
To graph a straight line, you only need the x- and y-intercepts.
X-intercept: value of x when y = 0
Substitute 0 for y and solve for x .
3 x - 0 = 5
3 x = 5
Divide both sides by 3 .
x = 5 3
Point: ( 5 3 , 0 ) or ( 1.667 , 0 )
Y-intercept: value of y when x = 0
Substitute 0 for x and solve for y .
3 ( 0 ) - y = 5
- y = 5
Multiply both sides by - 1 .
y = - 5
Point: ( 0 , - 5 )
Plot the two points and draw a straight line through them.
