Question

Draw a graph of each of the following equations: y = `(3)/(5) x - 1`

Answer 1

y = `(3)/(5) x - 1`

When x = 5, y = `(3)/(5)(5) - 1` = 2

When x = -5, y = `(3)/(5)(-5) - 1` = -4

When x = 10, y = `(3)/(5)(10) - 1` = 5

x	5	-5	10
y	2	-4	5

Plotting the points (5, 2), (-5, -4) and (10, 5), we get a line AB as shown in the figure.
