Math Problem Statement
Compute for x and y coordinates x + y = 3 show step by step solution so I can create a graph.
Solution
The equation you provided is:
This is a linear equation, and the graph will be a straight line. Let's solve it step by step for different values of and find the corresponding values.
Step-by-Step Solution:
-
Rearrange the equation to express in terms of :
-
Create a table of values for different values of , and calculate the corresponding values.
0 | |
1 | |
2 | |
-1 | |
-2 |
So, the corresponding points are:
- Plot these points on a graph.
Now you can draw a straight line through these points to represent the equation .
Steps to Graph:
- Draw the Cartesian plane with the x-axis and y-axis.
- Plot the points: (0, 3), (1, 2), (2, 1), (-1, 4), and (-2, 5).
- Connect these points with a straight line.
This line represents the equation .
Would you like more details on how to draw the graph, or have any other questions?
