Question

Construct a table of solutions and then graph the equation.

y = 7/8 x -6

Answer 1

To construct a table of solutions, we'll assume a value of x and find the corresponding value of y from the given equation.

x value	y value
-8	7/8 (-8) - 6 =-7-6 = -13
0	-6
8	7-6 = 1
16	14-6 = 8
-16	-14-6 = -20
24	21-6 = 15
-24	-21-6 = -27

So above are the sample table of solutions.

Now we will plot the graph.

Simply go according to the table. You can cross check the solutions with the graph also. At x=0, y is -6 as also evitable from the graph. At, x=8, y is 1. Similarly, other points can be cross-checked.
