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:

x+y=3x + y = 3

This is a linear equation, and the graph will be a straight line. Let's solve it step by step for different values of xx and find the corresponding yy values.

Step-by-Step Solution:

  1. Rearrange the equation to express yy in terms of xx:

    y=3xy = 3 - x

  2. Create a table of values for different values of xx, and calculate the corresponding yy values.

xxy=3xy = 3 - x
030=33 - 0 = 3
131=23 - 1 = 2
232=13 - 2 = 1
-13(1)=43 - (-1) = 4
-23(2)=53 - (-2) = 5

So, the corresponding points (x,y)(x, y) are:

  • (0,3)(0, 3)
  • (1,2)(1, 2)
  • (2,1)(2, 1)
  • (1,4)(-1, 4)
  • (2,5)(-2, 5)
  1. Plot these points on a graph.

Now you can draw a straight line through these points to represent the equation x+y=3x + y = 3.

Steps to Graph:

  1. Draw the Cartesian plane with the x-axis and y-axis.
  2. Plot the points: (0, 3), (1, 2), (2, 1), (-1, 4), and (-2, 5).
  3. Connect these points with a straight line.

This line represents the equation x+y=3x + y = 3.

Would you like more details on how to draw the graph, or have any other questions?

Related Questions:

  1. What is the slope of the line x+y=3x + y = 3?
  2. How do you find the x-intercept and y-intercept of a linear equation?
  3. How would the graph change if the equation was x+y=5x + y = 5?
  4. Can you write the equation in slope-intercept form?
  5. How do you check if a point lies on the line of the equation x+y=3x + y = 3?

Tip:

To graph a line easily, always find the x- and y-intercepts first by setting x=0x = 0 and y=0y = 0, then plot those points.
