Apply inverse operations to isolate y.
Apply inverse operations to isolate y.
y=-3x+8
y=- x-1/2
Rewriting any linear equation so that it can be entered into a graphing calculator requires us to isolate the y-variable. To do this, we will use the Properties of Equality to apply inverse operations on the equation.
Distribute (-1)
Add terms
LHS+y=RHS+y
LHS-3x=RHS-3x
