Question #0857b

Answer 1

Read the explanation please!

Explanation:

Do you have a graphing calculator? You can graph it on there too!

If you do not then you can do this:

Start off by picking easy numbers to graph. I'd recommend picking a `0`, two on the positive side and two on the negative side. I'm going to pick `-2,-1,0,1,` and `2.`

Now, substitute each number that you've chosen into the `x` variable of the equation!

Number Chosen: `-2`

`y=x-5`
`y=(-2)-5`
`y=-7`

Your next step should be to substitute the rest of the numbers in!

Number Chosen: `-1`

`y=x-5`
`y=(-1)-5`
`y=-6`

Number Chosen: `0`

`y=x-5`
`y=(0)-5`
`y=-5`

Number Chosen: `1`

`y=x-5`
`y=(1)-5`
`y=-4`

Number Chosen: `2`

`y=x-5`
`y=(2)-5`
`y=-3`

My coordinates end up to be these numbers:
`(-2,-7), (-1,-6), (0,-5),(1,-4), (2,-3)`

Finally, plot these numbers on the graph!

graph{x-5 [-11.155, 9.845, -8.91, 1.59]}

Hope that helped!
