To simplify, you could put the equation into slope-intercept form (y=mx+b) giving you y=3/2x+1/2. From there you put in values of x and the equation gives you y-values. take each coordinate pair and place it on the graph:
X Y
1 2
2 3.5
3 5
4 6.5
5 8
from there, the slope would be 3/2, as in it goes up 3 units every time it goes over 2 units, and it intersects the y-axis at 1/2.

3x = 2y + 3 3x -3 = 2y +3 -3 3x - 3 = 2y (3x -3)/2 = 2y / 2 y = 1/2 x (3x - 3) 3x = 2y +3 3x - 3x = -3x +2y +3 0 = -3x +2y +3 -1 x (0) = -1 x (-3x +2y +3) 0 = 3x - 2y -3
A straight line through the points (0, 1) and (-0.4, 0).
The elimination method only works with simultaneous equations, hence another equation is needed here for it to be solvable.
The equation "x plus 2y equals 5" is: x + 2y = 5 2y = 5 - x y = 5/2 - 1/2x y = -1/2x + 5/2
Get in function form. - 3X - Y = 4 - 1(- Y = 3X + 4) Y = - 3X - 4 ----------------------------solve for X and Y by the 0 out method - 3X - 4 = 0 - 3X = 4 X = - 4/3 --------------- Y = - 3(0) - 4 Y = - 4 -------------- Draw a line linking those points.
