Math Problem Statement

Compute for x and y coordinates and plot the graph x + y = 3

Solution

The graph of the equation x+y=3x + y = 3 is a straight line with a slope of -1, intersecting the y-axis at y=3y = 3 and the x-axis at x=3x = 3. This line passes through the points (0,3) and (3,0), representing the x and y intercepts, respectively.

Do you want more details or have any questions about this graph?

Here are 5 related questions for further exploration:

  1. How do we determine the slope of the line from the equation x+y=3x + y = 3?
  2. What is the general form of a linear equation?
  3. How would the graph change if the equation were x+y=5x + y = 5?
  4. What are the x and y intercepts of the line?
  5. How do we find the point of intersection between two lines?

Tip: For any linear equation of the form Ax+By=CAx + By = C, you can quickly find the x and y intercepts by setting y=0y = 0 and x=0x = 0, respectively.
