Substitute some arbitrary values of x into the given equation.
Practice makes perfect
Let's start by isolating y in the given equation.
4x-3y = 12 ⇔ y = 4/3x - 4
To draw the graph of our equation, we will use a table of values. Substituting some arbitrary values of x into the given equation will give us the corresponding y-values.
x
4/3x - 4
y=4/3x - 4
- 3
4/3( - 3) - 4
- 8
0
4/3( 0) - 4
- 4
3
4/3( 3) - 4
0
Now let's plot these ( x, y) coordinate pairs and connect them with a straight line.
