Question

use the equation to complete the table.
y = x - 3.5

x	y
4	\square
4.5	\square
5	\square

now, graph the equation.

Explanation:

Step1: Substitute $x=3.5$

$y = 3.5 - 3.5 = 0$

Step2: Substitute $x=4$

$y = 4 - 3.5 = 0.5$

Step3: Substitute $x=4.5$

$y = 4.5 - 3.5 = 1$

Step4: Substitute $x=5$

$y = 5 - 3.5 = 1.5$

Step5: Plot points for graph

Plot the points $(3.5, 0)$, $(4, 0.5)$, $(4.5, 1)$, $(5, 1.5)$ on the coordinate grid, then draw a straight line through them (extending in both directions, as it is a linear equation).

Answer:

Completed Table:

$x$	$y$
4	0.5
4.5	1
5	1.5

Graph Instructions:

Plot the points listed above on the coordinate plane and connect them with a straight, continuous line.
