First of all, you should set up the equation into y= form, so it'll be easier.

Move everything around until you have y on one side by itself.

You started with:

x-2y=7

-2y=7-x ;Subtract the x

y=(-7/2)+(1/2)x ;Divide everything by two

That is your y=.

Now to find your points, just substitute a number (whether you prefer a whole number or a fraction) into either x or y and solve for the other variable. For example, I'm going to substitute 1 for x and solve for the y:

y=(-7/2)+(1/2)(1) ;Substitute 1 for x

y=(-7/2)+(1/2) ;Multiply 1 times one half

y=(-6/2) ;Add the fractions

y=-3 ;Reduce the fraction

ONE of the points that lies in that graph would be (1,-3).

3s equals 2t is this a linear equation or nonlinear?

3s=2t can also be written as 3y=2x or 3x=2y. Either way, it is linear. To find out if it is linear, simply graph it. If you can draw a completely vertical line through any point of the graph without intersecting more than one point of the graph, then it is linear. This equation (3s=2t), it is linear.
