Question

Y=minus x draw graph?

Answer 1

PROCESS:

(i) Firstly find at least two different points satisfying each linear equation.

(ii) Secondly plot these points on a graph paper and get two different lines respective after joining their points.

(iii) Further, observe the equations of lines.

SOLUTION:

The given equation is y = – x. To draw the graph of this equation, we need at least two points lying on the given line.

For x = 3, y = – 3, therefore, (3, – 3) satisfies the linear equation y = -x.

For x = – 4, y = 4, therefore, (- 4, 4) satisfies the linear equation y = -x.

By plotting the points (3, – 3) and (- 4, 4) on the graph paper and joining them by a line, we obtain the graph of y = – x.

We observe that, the line y = x and y = – x intersect at the point 0(0, 0).
