The equation is .

\

The equation is in slope intercept form.

To graph the equation, first graph the

According to Subtraction property of equality: If a = b then .

              (Subtract 1 from each side)

                           (Additive inverse property: a + (-a) = -a + a = 0)

The reciprocal of

According to multiplication property of equality: If a = b then ac = bc. \ \

(Multiply each side by )

              (Cancel common terms)

                     (Multiply: )

\

First find the y-intercept.

The y-intercept is the value of y, when x = 0.

\ \

                           (Zero product property: a(0) = 0)

                              (Divide:)

                                       (Miltiply: )

                                      (Divide: )

The co-ordinate point is (0, - 1.3) \ \

Next find the x-intercept.

The x-intercept is the value of x, when y = 0.

\ \

According to addition property of equality: If a = b then . \ \

    (Addto each side)

                            (Additive inverse property: a + (-a) = -a + a = 0) \ \

According to multiplication property of equality: If a = b then ac = bc. \ \

                (Multiply each side by 9)

                         (Cancel common terms)

                                (Multiply: )

According to division property of equality: If a = b then .

                          (Divide each side by 16)

                                  (Cancel common terms)

                                 (Divide: )

The co-ordinate point is (0.75, 0) \ \ Use these ordered pairs to graph the equation.

1.     Draw a coordinate plane.

2.     Plot the points.

3.     Draw a line through these points.
