the equation is and directions are:
graph x-y=-2
so then the equation would really be:
y=-x+2
and from here i would do the table to plot the points.
Close. y=x+2, not -x+2. Then, yes, plot the points.
so your saying that the equation that i have to graph would be:
y= x+2
not y=-x+2
because it is coming out of the equation: x+y=-2
so then it would be:
x+y=-2
-x -x
y=-x-2
- -----
1 1
y = -x -2
from here i should do a table
so for instance
for x (-3)
then. y= -(-3)-2
y= 1
so my first point would be (-3,1)
Apologies for the confusion. You are right. The equation x + y = -2 can be rearranged as y = -x - 2. So, the correct equation to graph is y = -x - 2.
Now, let's proceed with creating a table of points to plot on the graph:
Choose different values for x and substitute them into the equation to find the corresponding values of y. Here's an example:
For x = -3:
y = -(-3) - 2
y = 3 - 2
y = 1
So, the first point would be (-3, 1).
You can repeat this process with more values of x to find additional points to plot on the graph.
